AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Armand Meffre (1929–2009) French actor and painter.

A defining comedian of the theatre 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 humane body of work. His canvases, imbued with tenderness and poetry, reveal a profoundly human gaze, between restrained emotion and sincere simplicity. A complete artist, each painting tells a story and moves with its authenticity.

A painter of great talent with significant results at public sales. Participates in major international art fairs in the United States, China, and Europe.

- The Little Red Roofs 1995 - signed lower right, dated and titled on the back, original work, oil on canvas, 38x46 cm, mounted on a wooden frame.
The theme of Robion and its Railway Station is dear to the artist; it was for him the symbol of a departure toward Paris where his artistic career began and made him famous.

The works are widely present in galleries and private museums in Russia, Italy, the USA, the United Kingdom, and China.
