AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This oil painting was made by Bernard Dufour (1922–2016), a French painter who became known after World War II for abstract work and later for portraits and human figures. He was born in Paris and initially studied agriculture. During the German occupation he was forced to work in Germany, where he came into contact with other artists and writers. After the war he deepened his study of art by examining old masters in the Louvre.

His first solo exhibition took place in 1948, followed by several other exhibitions and an exclusive contract with an art dealer. In 1959 he participated in the documenta in Kassel. From 1960 Dufour shifted to figurative painting, including self-portraits and nudes. He lived and worked in Foissac and in 1964 he participated in the Venice Biennale. From the seventies he also worked with photography and wrote several artistic texts.

Dimensions: 43 x 35 cm
Dimensions with frame: 47 x 39 cm

Viewing is of course possible. In addition, we have our own in-house framing workshop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary year. Furthermore we use restorers from the industry association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of this, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
