Colorist painting is characterized by intense color use, which becomes the dominant feature of the resultant work of art, more important than its other qualities. This painting style was foreshadowed by French Impressionism in the late 19th Century and gained prominence through the Fauvists in the early 20th Century. It has since surfaced in many individual styles and art movements outside France, the most prominent being the Scottish Colourists, the Polish Colourists, and the American abstract Color Field painters.
This painting features an exuberant colored vision of a still-life composition with a coffee table with plenty of items: a vase with two roses and a bizarre character on the left side. This is a surprisingly vivid execution where the colors define the painter's vision of his world. Signed bottom right corner: A. Rigollot - 08/1961.
Newly reframed in an elegantly black high gloss wood frame. The last picture shows the back of the board before reframing.
