Very pretty oil on wood measuring 27cm x 22cm plus wooden frame representing a gardian and a Provençal off the Saintes Maries de la Mer signed lower left ZIMMERMANN Michel ZIMMERMANN and ondulism Michel TOPLEK said Zimmermann or M.Meyer Painter by training academic; after a few classic experiences, exhibitions and competitions won with 1st prizes, he moved towards a more self-taught painting, trying to be the least influenced and to keep a certain authenticity. Exterior painter, he travels many regions in order to always be in contact with the subject. His observation and his experience lead him to innovate a technique he calls undulism: the complete work is composed of multiple juxtapostions of slightly curved twin keys which give the painting an undulating effect. These works are most often in gouache but also in oil.
