YVONNE CANÚ ( Meknes, Morocco, 1921 - 2008). "Plage de Pampelonne, Saint Tropez". Oil on canvas. Unsigned. Certificate attached. Measurements: 38.5 x 55.5 cm, 50 x 67 cm (frame). Although Pointillism is considered as the continuation of Impressionism, the conception of shapes and volumes is far from it. In Pointillism, shapes are conceived within a geometry of pure masses, being her paintings perfect examples of order and clarity. Yvonne Canú, through the adoption of tiny dot-like brushstrokes, manages to accumulate, even on small surfaces, a great variety of colors and tones, each of which corresponds to one of the elements that contribute to the appearance of the object. At a given distance these tiny particles are optically mixed and the result produces a much greater intensity of color than any mixture of pigments. In this sense, their studies of light and color surpass those made by any of the Impressionists, but they also encountered greater difficulties. With more knowledge and a more disciplined eye, Canú found all the hallmarks of the light spectrum, as well as a way to lighten or darken a given hue in relation to the simultaneous hallmarks produced by the surrounding colors. Yvonne Canú was a French painter, considered part of Neo-Impressionism, who used Pointillism techniques in her works. Born of French parents, she began her studies at the École des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, but they were interrupted by World War II. The future pointillist met with artists such as Élisée Maclet and Tsuguharu Foujita, who introduced her to landscape painting and the principles of impressionism. She later attended the Academie de la Grand Chaumiere with Ossip Zadkine. Yvonne Canu began to present her works after the end of World War II, but it was not until 1955 that she finally came to neo-Impressionism. Canu made this decision under the impression of the painting "Un dimanche après-midi à l'le de la Grande Jatte" by Georges Seurat, one of the pioneers of this trend. He worked in this pointillist direction for most of his life, until his death in 2008. Certificate attached.
