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, historic and patrimonial district of Sète, is famous for its fishermen's huts and its authentic atmosphere. Armand Meffre offers an interpretation in cubist style, where boats, masts and architectures merge into a modern, luminous and particularly expressive geometric composition.
A renowned actor in theatre and cinema, Armand Meffre acted under the direction of major filmmakers alongside Philippe Noiret, Jean Rochefort or Gérard Depardieu.
Trained in painting with the master André Lhote, he developed a sensitive, luminous and deeply sensual body of work. His paintings, 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 auctions. Participates in major international art fairs in the United States, China and Europe.
The painting has been photographed in the artist’s Studio at his original easel.
The works are widely represented in galleries and private museums in Russia, Italy, USA, the United Kingdom and China.
