JEAN LOMBARD 1895/1983

OIL ON CANVAS DATED 56.. FORMAT 60X73CM.

From 1950 to 1960 he detached himself from representation. It was a colorful and very constructed period, the original elements of its sensation, of its visual emotion, being first dissociated, then recomposed into a puzzle, according to a purely pictorial logic. This approach assimilates it to what we can call “an impressionist abstraction” in the French style.
