Jean Pesce (French 1926);
Portrait;

22 x 18 in; framed: 27 x 23 in;
Jean Pesce has stylistically integrated a number of important French movements into his composition, including the highly saturated hues that define Fauvism as well as the tightly structured tenets of Cubism. His highly contrasted color palette infuses the work with animated vibrancy, and his use of exuberant curves and bold diagonals imbue a rhythmic energy to the overall pictorial surface.


Pesce applies pure, sustained blocks of color to the composition, and plays with angles and perspectives, reductions and abstractions, masking the brushwork in order to demonstrate a modern aesthetic that pushes the boundaries of his art.
