Jean-claude Dresse, Painting / Oil On Panel, Portraits Of Women, Ca 1980

Painting portraits of women, oil on panel, around 1980. Very qualitative and original work painted by Jean-Claude Dresse, Belgian painter. The portrait of an Asian japanese woman in a kimono visible on the left refers to the Japanese prints of the great Ukiyo-e masters in the 18th century (Sharaku Toshusai, Hokusai, Hiroshige, Utamaro...). We find in the portrait of the face on the right the peaceful influence of the Belgian symbolist painter Fernand Knopff... Geometric composition presented in the style of comics, no doubt influenced by his teacher Marcel Gibon, cartoonist. American frame 35X35X5cm. In a perfect state.
