About the Item
"Le Baiser d'apres Boucher", Impressionist Portrait, Oil Painting, Signed
By French artist Claude Benard, (1926 - 2016)
Signed and dated '1947' by the artist on the lower left hand corner
Titled verso
Oil painting on board, unframed
Board size: 14 x 10.5 inches
Passionate interpretation of two young lovers in the middle of a sensual moment. This is quite unlike anything else we have seen so far from this wonderful French artist. From the painting style being very fine, and the colour palette being very muted.
It is a lovely oil painting that needs to be propped up on a shelf in a French shabby chic interior, perhaps in a dressing room or bedroom. A rare find by the artist Claude Benard.
Claude Benard was born in Cholet in 1926 but shortly after his family moved to Angouleme (1928), where he was to live until his death in 2016. Studying at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris and also in the studios of Cheyssial and Fougerat. At the age of 21, he began exhibiting at the Salon des Artistes Francais. After time traveling to broaden his artistic experience he returned to his home town to continue painting professionally. He became a Professor at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Angouleme from 1957-1980.
Benard exhibited with numerous prestigious institutions throughout France and abroad, including the Salon des Artistes Francais, Salon des Independants and the Salon d'Automne, Paris. He was the holder of more than seventy awards. In 1978, he founded the Cercle Angoumousin des Arts and in 1979 organised a Salon of Contemporary Art in Angouleme bringing together celebrated artists from the Charente region. His style evolved from figurative in the 1960's, through to Surrealism into the 1970's and onwards. Four tribute exhibitions of his works were held in Angouleme in 1972, 1984, 2001 and 2017.

Condition report:
The painting and board are both in very pleasing condition. The board is not cut in a straight line, but adds to the patina of the vintage era it was painted in.
