Description from the seller
AGOSTINI Max (1914-1997)
" Bouquet de fleurs "
Oil on canvas,
Signed at bottom right,
Stamp from Galerie Martin Caille; various exhibition and archive numbers on the back of the canvas,
Provenance: Galerie Martin-Caille in Paris (stamps on the back) then private collection.
A beautiful, luminous work with strong contrast by the Corsican-born painter Max Agostini, depicting a bouquet of flowers, very likely daisies or anemones, in a vase on a plinth.
The artist uses a bright, vivid color palette, which brings the work to life.
A leading figure of contemporary impressionism, the painter MAX-AGOSTINI was born in Paris in 1914, of Corsican origin through his grandparents. He studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and discovered a real talent for Impressionism.
Drafted into the French Army for five years at the beginning of World War II, MAX-AGOSTINI was taken prisoner for three years.
After the war, he drew notice for his quality as an excellent portraitist and landscape painter in Châteauroux, where he worked for several years. Later, he settled in Gargilesse in the Berry and in Provence.
In January 1997, he was still painting his finest canvases just a few days before his hospitalization.
He is recognized worldwide as one of the greatest colorists of his time.
Dimensions: 46 x 55 cm without a frame and 65 x 74 cm with the original gilt wood frame.
