AUCTION 35: DECEMBER 2022 DECORATIVE AND FINE ART SALE
A pointilist oil on canvas painting "St. Tropez" by Yvonne Canu (French, 1921 — 2007). Signed by the artist lower right, also signed and titled verso. Housed in a richly decorated gilt wood and gesso frame. Yvonne Canu was a French painter and followed the influences of the pointillists such as Georges Seurat. She belongs to an interesting trend of French twentieth-century artists who looked to and expanded upon the theories of so-called divisionist artists of the late 19th century. She studied at the Ecole des Arts Decoratifs in Paris and gained the most acknowledgment for her work after the Second World War. Her work often depicts coastal and harbour scenes.
