André Demonchy
Harvest in the Yonne - Mid 20th Century French Naïf Landscape Oil Painting

1966

About the Item

A beautiful signed and dated 1966 French naïf oil on canvas depicting a harvest scene in the Yonne, by André Demonchy. The work is signed and dated lower left and inscribed with title on the reverse. Presented in a simple black painted wood frame. The artist is featured in Anatole Jakovsky's ''Peintres Naïfs'' which is considered the bible of 20th century French naïf painters. Artist: André Demonchy (French, 1914-2003) Title: Harvest in the Yonne Medium: Oil on canvas Size: 22.5 x 26.5 inches (57cm x 67cm) including the frame André Demonchy was a true naïf painter of the 20th century. Orphaned by WW1, he spent his childhood and adolescence on various farms in the Yonne district, placed there by Welfare authorities. After army service, he worked on the railways. But he had suffered too much and never known affection. He was haunted by leaden, snowladen skies. He started to paint around 1946. Fate smiled on him as an artist fairly quickly, with regular exhibitions between 1949 and 1964, but not to the extent of his being able to give up his work on the railway.
