The painted wooden panel was laminated by the artist himself onto a plywood panel forming a frame, with edges covered in sand, all framed with a wooden strip.
Exceptional painting on panel by Jacques DESTOOP representing Don Quijote de la Mancha (Don Quixote de la Mancha), character of Cervantes, as represented by this great contemporary artist.
This flamboyant work was produced in the 1970s. It refers to Jules MASSENET's opera by affixing an exhibition label to the back of the panel.
It is presented in an original frame made by the artist.
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.
