The Wisdom Colors

Original oil painting from France: Portrait painted on hard carton panel, signed and dated. This work is part of our Jean Lasnier (1922-2006) collection coming from his Parisian atelier.

The light on the face of the sitter gives off a real intensity conveyed by the undertones of the skin, ranging from light shades of bisque to deep purple. The whole complex palette of physiognomy is magnified here in an explosion of color where impressionist codes are still respected but Lasnier already seems to be transforming to find his way into more abstract creations using the same attention to color.
