About the Item

A beautiful mid 20th century French naïf oil on board depicting figures in a snow covered town, by Jean Fous. Titled "Winter Walk" in French on the reverse. The work is signed lower right and presented in a painted and gilded frame. Inscribed with location on the reverse. 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 brocanteur by trade, Fous met Jakovsky in the 1940's and quickly became his protege. Artist: Jean Fous (French, 1901-1971) Title: Winter Walk Medium: Oil on canvas Size: 14 x 16 inches (35 x 40 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.

Located in Zofingen, AG
➡️Winter scene⬅️ Watercolor from Johannes Franciscus HOPPENBROUWERS (1819-1866) (see wikipedia) ⭐Structural Analysis⭐ This painting depicts a winter scene in a rural village, possibly in the Netherlands or a similar European setting. The composition is well-balanced, featuring: A central building with a distinctive thatched roof covered in snow, creating a focal point.
