École française (XX) - Vecchio caminetto

- Oil on board. The painting is signed "ZAZA" on the overdoor.

- Delimiting the space through a distilled constructivism with linear roots, the artist takes us to the proverbial garret of the bohemian. The central element, the warm iron stove that provides heat and breath to the chilled creators, stands out in the middle of the room, almost as in "La Bohème". Using aristocratic and violent expressionism, with sparseness as the main denominator of the chromatic range restricted to somber earth tones, the painter embodies the material austerity and the misery of the inhabitants of attic rooms. An enigmatic and modern painting, the identity of whose painter must be deciphered.

- Dimensions of the unframed image: 40 x 54 cm / 50 x 64 cm with original frame.
