Marcel COUDERC (1898-1991) Hunting scene Oil... Lot 3

Marcel COUDERC (1898-1991) Hunting scene Oil on panel Signed lower left 193 x 77 cm Provenance : Algeria, circa 1940 Direct acquisition from the artist Marcel Couderc (1898 - 1991), a drawing teacher and artist inspired by Naive Art, is mainly known for his exceptional fresco which adorns the hall of the Camera cinema in Meknes (Morocco), created in 1938. Monumental, it reflects the Art Deco aesthetic of his work. His attraction to the play of colour shades, intertwined perspectives and stylised compositions makes him the Douanier Rousseau of the Modern Age. The tenuous link between Man and Nature appears as a common thread in the work of Marcel Couderc, in the Art Deco vein of the early 20th century. The oil on monumental panel entitled "Scène de chasse" (Hunting scene) bears witness to this, in a light play of curved lines and geometric shapes.
