220 - Jean DORVILLE (1902–1985)

Jean DORVILLE (1902–1985) Landscape Gouache and watercolor on heavy paper Signed lower left 48 x 65 cm Note: In this composition, the artist sensitively renders a landscape in which the transparency of watercolor and the opacity of gouache complement each other to create a subtle balance between light, color, and texture. This combination of techniques allows for a harmonious blend of delicate gradations and intense tones. Jean Dorville developed a figurative body of work attentive to the atmosphere and structure of the landscape, favoring a personal interpretation of the subject. Signed lower left, this composition reflects his interest in nature and his mastery of techniques on paper.
