Painting on cardboard by Jacques DESTOOP (1931-2022): mother and child, 1985
dimensions: 45 cm x 63 cm
Condition: note some gaps and cracks (possibly entrust to a professional 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.
