Armand Avril
Janine, The Muse

1991

About the Item

A vibrant colourful French portrait of Janine, muse of the artist Armand Avril. Signed and dated mid right. Presented in new contemporary framing under glass. Armand Avril (1926) is an important French artist, whose distinctive style is influenced by 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.
