Description
French school, ca. 1920's.
"Male couple" .
Oil on canvas.
Signed with anagram and dated in the lower right corner.
Measurements: 90 x 121 cm; 93 x 124 cm (frame).
Two young Asians are seated on a plank floor. Their bronze skins contrast with this background of amber slats. The line is sinuous but stylised, sparing the forms in favour of a minimal but suggestive expression. The faces, melancholic yet peaceful, seem distant to us as they carry a genuine mystery. However, this painting does not belong to nineteenth-century exoticism, colourful and trivial, but to a more sober and conceptual aesthetic, in keeping with inter-war trends.
