Drawing Jean Terles Marcel Pagnol Original Portrait Of César Panisse Marseille

Beautiful old drawing circa 1930, mixed technique on paper (pencil and watercolor), the stamp of the estate Jean Terles Paris on the back, representing an original illustration project for the publisher Fasquelle. Sold without the jacket Jean Terles studied at the Beaux Arts in Paris after a degree in modern literature. He entered the studio of Lucien Simon, and continued his training at the Casa Velasquez. He stayed in Morocco during the war then returned to Paris where he rubbed shoulders with Yves Brayer and Jean Dubuffet, among others. He exhibited alongside them in the major Parisian galleries. He also worked as an illustrator for great authors (Emile Zola, Georges Bernanos, Henri Maurois, etc.) and taught at the Gobelins school. He returned to Lot et Garonne at the end of the 70s and continued to work and exhibit.
