Drawing by Jacques DESTOOP (1931-2022): female nude
colouring pencils
dimensions: 32 cm x 24 cm
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.
