Description

Abstract composition Watercolor and ink on paper signed lower right 22 x 32 cm Condition report: Framed Raphaël Lonné, French artist, began his working life at the age of twelve as a laborer, then letter carrier in Montfort-en-Chalosse. During the Second World War, threatened with deportation, he went underground. After the war, Lonné became a letter carrier in Dax, a position he held until his retirement. Around 1950, he discovered drawing following a spiritual experience which, according to him, endowed him with the faculties of a "medium-drawer": his hand was directed by spirits. From then on, he drew every evening, producing works of lace-like finesse. His drawings plunge us into his imagination. Fanciful architectures rub shoulders with fantastic animals and human silhouettes. He mainly uses graphite, sometimes blurred with his fingers, as well as ballpoint pen, India ink or black felt-tip pen. In his later works, he introduces color with oil paint or gouache. (MLD)
