About the Item

A beautiful mid 20th century French naïf oil on board depicting Place de la Concorde in Paris, by Jean Fous. The work is signed lower right and framed. Jean Fous is a well known French naïf artist who was featured in Anatole Jakovsky's ''Les Peintres Naïfs'', known as the bible of French naïf artists. A similar work by Fous depicting Place de la Concorde is featured in the book "Guide Naif de Paris". Artist: Jean Fous (French, 1901-1971) Title: Place de la Concorde Medium: Oil on board Size: 11 x 9.5 inches (28 x 24 cm) including the frame Jean Fous was the son of a picture framer living in the Rue du Dragon in Saint-Germain-des-Pres. Instead of following in his father's footsteps, he chose adventure; he travelled to the South of France and finally set up a stall in an open air market in the shade of St. Sernin Cathedral in Toulouse. Later he returned to Paris and continued to sell in the flea-market of the Porte de Vanves. He is therefore the second 'naive' artist who was a seller in a second hand market, for Paul Lefebvre was another. Fous's art is very personal, full of pictorial qualities. He is almost the only artist to have painted the Paris flea markets.
