Michel Joussaume (1931-2013) - Bodegón floral expresionista – Óleo sobre tabla

Magnificent floral still life in oil on panel by the distinguished French painter Michel Joussaume (1931–2013), a key figure in postwar Bordeaux painting, renowned for his powerful style, pronounced textures, and influences from figurative abstract expressionism. The work features a palette of earthy tones, ochres, and greens contrasted with vibrant orange brushstrokes, with the paint itself taking center stage thanks to the generous use of impasto. It measures 35 x 29 cm.

Signed by the artist in the lower-left corner (M. Joussaume), the panel retains period annotations and inventory marks on the reverse.

As for its condition, the work generally shows the wear and signs of age one would expect. It has surface scuffs, small areas of paint loss, mainly along the panel’s outer edges, and a period patina consistent with its age, all clearly visible in the gallery’s detailed photographs. These details preserve the piece’s raw character and original expressive force, making it a magnificent investment and collecting opportunity for lovers of modern French art.
