About the Item
After many years of study and creation, Deanne Mineau's work has taken a distinctive turn towards expressionism. This shift allows her to offer a more emotional and subjective world vision.
The painting revolves around a shared moment from the last century. Six figures and a young boy form the central subjects. They appear in profile, from behind, or with only their eyes visible. The focus is on a young boy with an adult gently holding his chin. This interaction is a prime example of psychological suggestiveness: the boy's rosy cheeks as he stands speechless, his downcast eyes suggesting a shy response to the adult's compliment. This emphatic exchange sets the tone, creating an atmosphere of kindness permeating the canvas. We can almost hear the adult's words: "What a fine boy you are becoming," "You must make your parents proud," and so on.
Mineau's portrayal, evident in the attention to each character's appearance, suggests that an event of significance is unfolding. The attire is neat, with hats, ribbons adorning headwear, and colorful scarves implying preparation for an activity distinct from the usual workday—a Sunday ritual, perhaps religious, a wedding, or even a visit to the weekly market.
The composition, bold brushstrokes, and choice of colors inscribe Mineau's pictorial technique into a singular figuration. Mineau paints with the precision of a writer, capturing a moment with inherent spontaneity and "feel" while observing details.
