Armand Avril
Late 20th Century Expressionist, DUBONNET With Cats

1998

About the Item

Late 20th century oil on paper by the French artist Armand Avril. Signed and dated bottom centre. The painting is held in an oversized modern frame under glass. The painting is an interesting thematic work by Avril inspired by the iconic advertising posters of Cassandre from the 1930's. Avril has put his beloved cats, a recurring theme in many of his paintings, centre stage and under the Dubonnet logo, underscored by the red, white and blue and the French flag. His Dubonnet paintings have become some of his most recognised and iconic works. Armand Avril (1926) is an important French artist, whose distinctive style is influenced by French, African and Inuit traditions. Avril's works until the late 1960's are characterised by a figurative style of painting, with sensual shapes and outrageously bold colours. Later he created mixed-media artworks, and the influence of Braque, Picasso and Matisse is especially visible in his compositions. Avril has recently been accorded major retrospectives of his works and his paintings and assemblages are represented in major museums and collections worldwide.
