MWILA (act.c.1950-1970) Lot n° 5

Sans titre (Scène de danse). Toile marouflée sur carton. 59 x 79 cm. Signée, daté 1962, encadrée. In the 1940s, the French painter Pierre Robert Desfossés established his workshop, “Le Hangar” in Elisabethville. Mwila was a student there during the mid-20th century. The style of painting that emerged from Desfossés workshop is poetic-narrativist. It is seemingly flat and decorative due to its repetitive patterns. Like the painters of his generation, he draws his inspiration from nature to offer a dreamlike universe where life imposes itself in each brushstroke. This animal scene shows the sublime elegance of nature Lines full of harmony to delight us.
