About the Item

A beautiful mid 20th century French naif oil on canvas depicting two men fishing on a river by André Bouquet. The artist is featured in Anatole Jakovsky's ''Peintres Naifs'' which is known as the bible of 20th century naif painters. The work is signed lower left and presented in it's original gallery frame. Artist: André Bouquet (French, 1897-1987) Title: Fishermen on a River Medium: Oil on canvas Size: 16.5 x 19.5 inches (42 x 50 cm) including the frame André Bouquet was a butcher by trade, who had his stall in open air markets. In order to have more time to paint, however, he became a factory cook and later a foreman in the same factory. He lived only for his painting, which once he stopped working he did every day of the week, including Sundays. He is a sensitive and delicate artist, especially when depicting Parisian suburbs, of which he has caught the atmosphere remarkably. He also painted numerous snow landscapes.
