"Tennis Player in Canary Yellow, " Striking Art Deco Portrait of Blond Athlete
About the Item
This striking portrait of a sophisticated, beautifully groomed young man holding a tennis racket, his straw-colored hair beautifully echoed and emphasized by his canary-yellow shirt, his cheeks ruddy from the sun and his eyelids heavy from the heat of the day, was drawn in pastel by Marianne Clouzot in the late 1920s or early 1930s when she was a young artist. Clouzot was somewhat of a prodigy, drawing and painting when she was only 10, later studying at the Union Centrale des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and under the tutelage of André Lhote.
She worked in fashion as well as art and designed fabrics for the couturier Jacques Heim. In our opinion, this is her finest work -- the way she captures the hauteur of her subject, and the brilliant colors she brings to his clothing and the leafy background, is remarkable. (Dimensions include frame; visible drawing is 25 inches high by 19 inches wide.)
