Painting on canvas by Jacques DESTOOP (1931-2022): young woman at the aquarium
dimensions: 61 cm x 46 cm
Condition: may require slight restoration: some gaps and cracks (to be entrusted to a professional)
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.
