Quinio (1927 - 1999) After studying at Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Georges R. Quinio lived in his native Island of Corsica & devoted his time to the painting. He gave free rein to his imagination, portraying and interpreting the beauty of his homeland in a kaleidoscope of color. The influence of impressionism and occasionally pointillism is evident. With a marked preference for the palette knife, he also worked with brush, chalk & watercolor. Through his painting, the artist portrays the admiration and enjoyment he experienced surrounded by the beauty of Corsica and also Fontainebleau where he spent the last years of his life. The elegant simplicity of his works communicates in a profusion of light & colors, both a "joie de vivre" and profound serenity. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
