"VIII Rene-marie Castaing : “putto Sounding Of The Horn”"
VIII René-Marie Castaing (1896-1943): "Putto sounding the horn", charcoal and white chalk highlights on kraft paper 52 X 42 cm, presented under neutral pH mat 80 X 60 cm. Japanese paper. First Grand Prix de Rome 1924, the immense artist excelled particularly in works on paper: charcoals, pastels or gouaches. If I never met him for obvious reasons of dates, his birthplace was just opposite the Galerie de Pau! With a sensitivity that allowed him to capture the soul of his models, he gives us here a superb study of a putto that he liked to sprinkle in his large decorations. We permanently present works by this artist and outside of this set, you can also see other studies. Do not hesitate to ask us for photos or additional information by email or telephone.
