René BUTHAUD (1886-1986) Lot n° 28

Cubist portrait of women Paint-fixed under glass About 1935 79 x 60 cm René Buthaud revived the technique of eglomised glass around 1930. This very old practice had been abandoned in the 19th century. The artist researched and produced a few small format pieces using different processes. It was not until 1933 that he produced his first large panel. This realization required a very great control, the process prohibiting any retouching.
