Pierre HUMBERT (1929–2016) Untitled, 1962 Oil on canvas Signed and dated lower right Countersigned on the back and titled 73 x 116 cm Provenance: - Private collection, Tours - Former collection of J.L. Roque, La Garde Freinet, VAR, No. 266 Pierre Humbert was deeply inspired by the natural landscape of the Jabron Valley, where he lived. Whether in watercolors, ink drawings, or acrylics, lightness and light are ever-present in his work. A distinguished career that began at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1949. After working as a secondhand dealer and then a goat farmer, he settled into life as a painter in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, surrounded by untamed nature and birds—a major source of inspiration.
