About the Item

'The Life-Drawing Class', oil on board, by French (likely) artist M David (circa 1960s). A swirling, colourfully vivacious artwork that is immediately attractive and captivating. A life-drawing class allows artists, or prospective artists, to practice their technique sketching or painting living, breathing, often nude models. The models are usually unclothed to enable the artists the opportunity and the challenge of depicting other than inanimate objects, including clothing. The dynamism is different. In this wildly colourful artwork however, the figure being sketched is robed entirely in white, angelic, surrounded by an arc or halo of white as well. This may convey the artist's belief that the human form is god-like and depicting it, a gift. Or is it a statue? Regrettably nothing is known of the artist, M. David, so the interpretation of this wonderful work is conjecture. What is undeniable however, is the compelling nature of this piece of art and its stunning beauty with its painterly layers. In fair vintage condition with some blemishing and evident deterioration of the painting surface commensurate with age. Please see all accompanying photos. Newly framed and preserved. Signed: 'M David'. Upon request a video of the piece will be provided. Dimensions with Frame: H 49.5 cm / 19.5" W 57 cm / 22.4" Dimensions without Frame: H 36 cm / 14.2" W 43.5 cm / 17.1"

Lunch at Chez Louis

By Roland Dubuc

Located in London, GB

'Lunch at Chez Louis', oil on canvas, by Roland Dubuc (circa 1970s). The outdoor terrace at restaurants and cafés in France goes back centuries as they have always been a gathering place for intellectuals to meet and debate philosophical issues; for the Avant Garde set to display their works; for artists to compare and exchange ideas and for writers to drown their sorrows over their artistic anguish or melancholy. Even the freedom fighters of the French Revolution and later the French Resistance would meet in cafés to plot their course. Regular people of course also enjoy these venues. A very delightful feature of these French institutions is that there is always room for quiet book readers, romantic couples, business meetings and lively groups of friends sharing a bottle of wine. The artist Dubuc captures a slice of this lovely aspect of French culture in this smile-inducing depiction painted in vivid oils. With a background of greenery, the patrons enjoy the outdoors protected from the intense sun by the table's parasols. Ah, the life. The artwork is in good vintage condition, is framed and signed by the artist in the lower left hand corner. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying this listing. Upon request a video may be provided. About the Artist: Roland DuBuc (1924-1998), French artist, the sixth of 13 children and son of a construction worker. The very precariousness of the family's financial situation forced him to go to work at the age of 14. In extreme poverty, he moved to Rouen where he was lodged by the Salvation Army. During that time he struck up friendships with several artists who gave him advice and taught him techniques of drawing. He moved to other cities later where he met painters including, among others, Fred Pailhès...
