Description from the seller
Jean-Daniel Lorieux (b. 1937) – “The Monaco Family”
Mixed media on paper | Signed lower 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-format sheet depicts four portraits of the Monaco royal family, overlaid with an expressively rendered red cross—a direct reference to Lorieux’s Pop Art influences, which he developed through personal exchanges with Andy Warhol. The layering of photography, painting, and collage is characteristic of Lorieux’s painterly work.
The subject is historically significant: Lorieux had a documented personal connection to the Princely House of Monaco—he exhibited at the Grimaldi Forum and photographed members of the family throughout his career. This work is therefore much more than a portrait; it is a testament to a personal artistic relationship.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Jean-Daniel Lorieux is one of France’s most important fashion photographers. 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 a Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters; in 2003, he received the Légion d'honneur from Jacques Chirac. His paintings have been exhibited, among other places, at the Museum of Modern Art in Moscow.
Condition: Very good. Professionally framed.
Size: Approx. 64.5 × 64.5 cm
Technique: Mixed media on paper
Accompanied by a gallery certificate
