Magnificent & luminous painting (oil on paper song montgolfier, marouflée on a wooden panel), dating from the beginning of the twentieth and signed "hdst jean". It represents an interior scene and more specifically a bedroom with walls of a pink burst on which hangs a painting, with a bed in its center, then on the right a night table on which is placed a lamp bedside and finally, a carpet with colorful patterns and a pair of shoes are on the floor. It is about an artist a little forgotten despite the very high quality of his work, especially because after his death, his family would have kept an important part of his work.

He was from Boffres (a village that is about twenty minutes drive from Valence). As far as the style is concerned, it is difficult for me to clearly define. What has my eyes is very important and that makes a lot of the charm of this table is that the bed is slightly defeated. The theme is therefore the absence and that is from what the poetry operates, that the spectator can begin to imagine several scenarios the absence of a love party a few days, a child went to school, etc ... This theme of absence, even more precisely of "the presence of absence" was developed in the independent cinema, but also in the visual artists of the twentieth.

Gonzalo-torres was a homosexual artist and his companion was floored by hiv. The day of his death, he immortalized with a photograph (now present in the collection of moma in New York) their borrows left in bed (easily visible on google by typing the name of the artist + "bed") . Finally, to come back to Henri de Saint Jean, it seems important to stress that his works are very rare on the market, the Akun of 2012 estimates his paintings at around 1800.

Dimension: - 46 cm / 33.5 cm. 63.5 cm / 50 cm (frame).
