About the Item

Late 20th century oil on paper by the French artist Armand Avril. Signed and dated bottom right. The painting is an interesting thematic work by Avril inspired by the iconic advertising posters of Cassandre from the 1930's. Avril has put himself centre stage surrounded by his beloved cats a recurring theme in many of his paintings. 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.

Gouache on paper, signed on the leg of the clown. Armand Avril, né à Lyon en 1926, est un peintre vivant à Cotignac dans le Var. Il est surtout connu pour les assemblages qu'il a réalisés à partir de 1968. D'origine modeste, cependant très tôt intéressé par l'art et les musées où le poussait son père, il s'essaie d'abord à la peinture.
