Eugène Paul dit GEN PAUL (Paris 1895 - 1975) Lot n° 71

Bouquet of flowers, 1926 Original oil on canvas 81 x 65 cm Signed lower left Gen Paul In 1926, Gen Paul was at the height of his artistic powers, and a critic from the Gazette de l'Hôtel Drouot described the artist's work as follows: "Gen Paul is without doubt the greatest representative, and perhaps the only one, of expressionism in the French tradition". In this painting, the painter's genius shines through as he depicts this bouquet of flowers in an impasto of his own, combined with a real mastery of complementary colors - red and green, yellow and violet - offering the eye a vibrant, striking composition.
