AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Armand Meffre (1929–2009) French actor and painter.
- Sète - La Pointe Courte - signed bottom right, countersigned and titled and on the back, original work, oil on canvas 54x73 cm, stretched on a frame.
La Pointe Courte, the historic and patrimonial district of Sète, is famous for its fishermen's huts and its authentic atmosphere. Armand Meffre offers his Cubist interpretation of it, where boats, masts and architecture merge into a modern, luminous and particularly expressive geometric composition.
A iconic actor of theater and cinema, Armand Meffre acted under the direction of major filmmakers alongside Philippe Noiret, Jean Rochefort or Gérard Depardieu.
Trained in painting with master André Lhote, he developed a sensitive, luminous and deeply sensual body of work. His canvases, imbued with tenderness and poetry, reveal a deeply human outlook, between restrained emotion and sincere simplicity. A complete artist, each painting tells a story and moves with its authenticity.
A artist of great talent with significant results at public sales. He participates in major international art fairs in the United States, China and Europe.
The painting has been photographed in the artist's Atelier on his original easel.
The works are widely present in private galleries and museums in Russia, Italy, USA, the United Kingdom and China.
