AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Artist: Bernard Dufour (Paris, 1922-2016)
Title: Two young models.
Technique: Mixed media on canvas.
Overall size: 63 x 56 cm
Dufour's figurative art often includes erotic elements. The models in his paintings are often in the company of the painter. This visible relationship with the model draws the viewer of his photos into a voyeuristic position. The blending of love and death has been a theme, as in a large canvas (2.76 × 5.05 m) from 1975 representing the autopsied body of Red Army Faction militant Holger Meins juxtaposed with Dufour's nude wife, Martine.
Exhibitions
2001: Exhibition of glass plates at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie
2006: A 40-painting retrospective at the Musée d'Art Moderne de Strasbourg, organized by Fabrice Hergott

2017: Galerie Zürcher, Paris.
2019: Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris, with a lecture at the Beaux-Arts de Paris on Bernard Dufour by Marc Desgrandchamps.
Currently, Dufour's work is a collectible piece around the world.
