André Cottavoz
Portrait Jaune, Picasso feel Head of a Woman

1955

About the Item

This expressive Head of a Woman which Cottavoz called "Portrait Jaune" - is very strongly in the tradition of both Picasso and some of the British artists like Frank Auerbach. It has strong character and presence and lovely color which makes it recognizable as by Cottavoz. He was celebrated and sought after for his thick paint use applied in a distinct way! A fun work to bring edge and a strong artistic hand to a room. It is in a specially designed contemporary frame that has silvered 18 karat leaf on the front face.

  • Le Paysage, French scene
    By André Cottavoz
    Located in Greenwich, CT
    Painted in 1961 in the south of France, Le Paysage's jewel tones and energetic, thick brushwork lure you into not a literal landscape of paint and asks you to discern it's true content. It has charm, expressiveness, abstracted content and idiosyncratic nature! A delight to hang in a smaller intimate spot. The framing is carefully done with silvered 24 karat leafing around the float area of the frame and then a wide panel to allow the viewer to focus in on the composition itself and the texture of the paint. Andre Cottavoz is very well noted artist of the French and Paris school of art...
