Gaston Parison "the Dance" Around 1920 - Travel Painter- Africanism

Vibrant composition by Gaston Parison of a dance scene performed by women in Africa
An excellent traveling painter, Parison transports us to the middle of a village. He knows how to transcribe the power and gestures of bodies, rendering the shimmer and texture of skin, but also the material of fabrics and the surrounding nature with a keen sense of the shimmering colors of Africa.

Gaston Parison was born in Paris in 1889 and died in 1959.
He was a student of Fernand Cormon.
He participated in the Salon des Artistes Français in Paris, of which he was a member.
He won the Valérie Havard prize in 1921.
