A stunning original seascape lithograph by listed French painter, Yvonne Canu.
Truly captivating colors, magnificent "pointillism" method.
Pointillism was a revolutionary painting technique pioneered by Georges Seurat and Paul Signac in Paris in the mid-1880s. It was a reaction against the prevailing movement of Impressionism, which was based on the subjective responses of individual artists. Pointillism, by contrast, demanded a much more scientific approach – as we’ll see below. Yvonne Canu is not remotely of those two men's stature, never will be, but one of her paintings sold for about 118K at Christie's a few years ago.
Along with Seurat and Signac, the group included their fellow Frenchmen, Henri-Edmond Cross and Maximilien Luce. Other well-known artists who briefly made works in Pointillist style were Vincent van Gogh and, early in their careers, Picasso, Mondrian and Kandinsky.
Yvonne Canu, French, (1921-2008) born to French parents in Morocco in 1921, Yvonne Canu enrolled at the
Ecole de Paris, her studies were interrupted by World War II. Condition, your taste and authenticity are also components of a good purchase.
Yvonne Canu (1921-2007) has possibly the world's most prominent pointillist in the past eighty years.
This painting is professionally framed with a complementing mat board. Will enhance any space.
