Description from the seller
Jean-Daniel Lorieux (born 1937) – “Famille de Monaco"
Mixed media on paper | Signed bottom right | 64.5 × 64.5 cm
ABOUT THE WORK
A rare, signed mixed-media work by one of the most renowned French artists and photographers of his generation. The landscape-oriented sheet shows four portraits of the Monaco princely family, overlaid by an expressively placed red cross – a direct reference to Lorieux's Pop Art influences, developed in personal exchange with Andy Warhol. The fusion of photography, painting, and collage is typical of Lorieux's painterly oeuvre.
The motif is historically charged: Lorieux had a documented personal connection to the House of Monaco – he exhibited in the Forum Grimaldi and photographed members of the family during his career. This work is thus far more than a portrait; it is a testament to a personal artistic relationship.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Jean-Daniel Lorieux is among the most important fashion photographers in France. He worked for Dior, Givenchy, Lanvin, Cartier, and Chopard, and his work appeared in Vogue, Madame Figaro, and L’Officiel. In 1997 he was named Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres, and in 2003 he received the Légion d’honneur from Jacques Chirac. His paintings have been exhibited, among others, at the Museum of Modern Art in Moscow.
Condition: very good. Professionally framed.
Size: approx. 64.5 x 64.5 cm
Technique: Mixed Media on Paper
Accompanied by a gallery certificate
