"The Delights Of Capua"
A painter with a delicate design and an excellent engraver, Guinegault tried his hand after the war at a series of very successful orientalist nudes. Combining the attractive influence of the confines of the French empire, characterized by the issue in 1945 of the French union note, with a climate of reverie specific to the post-war period, this painting signed and dated 46, is the illustration perfect. An androgynous sybarite, surrounded by a Dionysian court, which Gauguin would not have disdained, seems to symbolize the feminization of society and the fusion of the 5 continents.
