Description from the seller
Yves Dieÿ (Paris, 1892 – Montluçon, 1984)
Self-portrait, 1927
46 x 38 cm
Signed and dated in the lower right corner
Interesting self-portrait by the French painter Yves Dieÿ, in a stage of full artistic maturity. The composition presents the artist in the foreground, with elegant dark attire and a sober introspective attitude, resolved against a neutral background in warm tones that reinforce the psychological intensity of the portrait.
The work stands out for its balanced compositional construction, the subtle modeling of the face and a confident brushstroke, clearly evident in the treatment of the flesh tones, the clothing, and the luminescent nuances. The overall impression is one of seriousness, refinement, and a remarkable ability to capture the presence of the sitter, qualities that place this piece within the best tradition of French portraiture of the first half of the 20th century.
Signed and dated, this self-portrait also constitutes a particularly valuable testimony within the artist's body of work, as it is a work of intimate and representative character, in which the painter himself offers a direct and personal image of himself.
Measurements: 46 x 38 cm.
Important: the image in which the work appears hung and framed in a museum space is a digital recreation made solely for presentation purposes. The frame is not included in the lot.
