1994

About the Item

SUR LE BANC is an original hand drawn limited edition lithograph printed using hand lithography techniques on archival Arches paper 100% acid free, by the popular French artist Michel Delacroix, well known for his naif style paintings of a city he calls "the Paris of then." SUR LE BANC is a misty Autumn in Paris scene featuring two lovers seated on a park bench; the man leaning close whispering to the woman, both dressed in Victorian style clothing, as a small dog looks their way. SUR LE BANC features soft pastel color French residential buildings, lush leafy autumn trees, patches of muted green grass, and a black and orange wheeled horse drawn carriage led by two white horses trotting along the pathway in back of them. Muted colors of light gray blue, grays, pink, greens, orange beige, yellow orange,light blue, black, and touches of red capture the charm and romance of Paris. Print size - 19 x 22 inches, unframed, excellent condition, pencil signed by Michel Delacroix Image size - 16.25 x 13 inches Edition size - 200, plus proofs Year published - 1994 Printer - JK Fine Art Editions Co., NJ Michel Delacroix was born in 1933 on the Left Bank, in the 14th arrondissement of Paris, best known for its northeastern quartier Montparnasse. He started painting at the young age of seven just as the German Occupation of Paris began. Paris as it was during the Occupation is the Paris that appears in his paintings even today; there was a virtual absence of automobiles and street lights, the city was quite and isolated. His cityscapes display a simpler Paris of the past, of his boyhood rather than the urban metropolis of today. Delacroix was educated at Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris and spent years experimenting with several different painting styles until, at the age of 35, he began producing works in the Naïf tradition, his characteristic style. He rarely works "en plein air", allowing him to create his own sense of perspective that emphasizes the grandeur of the boulevards and at the same time highlights the intimacy of street corners. Throughout the course of his career, Delacroix has been honored with numerous awards including the Grand Prix des Amateurs d'Art, Paris (1973). The Grand Pris de la Cote d'Azur, Cannes (1976) and the Premier Prix de Sept Collines, Rome (1976). His work can be found in several public and private collections including the Fonds National d'Art Contemporain in Paris and the Musée International d'Art Naïf. Delacroix's paintings have been featured in over 300 solo exhibitions in the United States alone. He has had numerous one-man shows as well as group exhibitions all over Europe. Michel Delacroix well known for his naif, winsom style paintings and graphics combines building structures and fine details with rich color to express the lively, diverse activity of everyday life in the cities he paints.
