Jacques DESTOOP (1931-2022): still life (with intrusion of a dog or cat on the right)
drawing with colored pencils
dimensions of the sheet: 23 cm x 32 cm
image dimensions: 21 cm x 28 cm
Original signature of the artist lower right
Note: folds on the sheet (see photos). Can be attenuated (for this, preferably see an art restorer)
Jacques DESTOOP first had a career as an actor at the Comédie-Française. It was there that he “sketched” his first characters on cigar box lids: actors behind the scenes, but also himself in the role of Cyrano de Bergerac or even the “critics” comfortably seated in their armchairs. .. He loves satire and often caricatures with scathing humor. In his work, figurative paintings in an expressionist manner alternate with abstract or quasi-abstract paintings, in which the material finds its place.
