Two old double-sided charcoal drawings: views of Paris, 1970
front: the square du Temple - Elie Wiesel
back: buildings on the corner of rue du Poitou and rue Charlot
dimensions: 43 cm x 50 cm
Note: these two very beautiful old drawings need restoration. They can be entrusted to a professional restorer.
Enthusiastic about Western painting, Nagao USUI discovered the southern light in the works of his masters and he quickly set up his easel in Provence, where he painted the landscapes dear to Paul CEZANNE on the motif. Further south, the Var coastline also inspires him: Saint-Tropez and its port, the Marines of Cogolin... This is how he gives us, in luminous, vibrant and sensitive canvases, all the poetry of a Provençal farmhouse, a country house buried in the vineyards or a marina with its sailboats. Nagao USUI also painted very beautiful landscapes of Burgundy, Paris and Ile-de-France.
Alongside his paintings on canvas, Nagao USUI has produced works on paper of great diversity: paintings, drawings, gouaches, watercolors and pastels retrace the journey of this Franco-Japanese artist, from the beginnings with the models posing at the workshop until the years of maturity, with the landscapes of Provence.
