AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Armand Meffre (1929–2009) French actor and painter.
- Sète – La Pointe Courte – signed at the bottom right, countersigned and titled, and on the back, an original work, oil on canvas 54x73 cm, stretched on a frame.
Sète is not just a subject for Armand Meffre: it is a place deeply linked to his life and his work.
The port of Sète is one of Armand Meffre’s dearest subjects. Fascinated by its port world, its quays, its boats and its installations, he reinterprets their shapes and colors, transforming the real landscape into powerful geometric compositions, at the border of abstraction.
La Pointe Courte, the historic and patrimonial district of Sète, is famous for its fishermen’s huts and its authentic atmosphere. Meffre offers a Cubist interpretation, where boats, masts and architectures blend into a modern, luminous and particularly expressive geometric composition.
A prominent actor of theater and cinema, Armand Meffre has worked 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 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 highly talented artist with significant public sale results. 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 present in galleries and private museums in Russia, Italy, USA, the United Kingdom and China.
Certificate of authenticity signed by the artist will be issued to the buyer.
Fast and secure worldwide shipping: UPS, FedEx, DHL.
