Oil on canvas by Pierre Humbert.

Pierre Humbert (1929-2016) Oil on canvas - 73x116. Still life. Signed and dated at the bottom right 1962. Beautiful provenance: collection J.L. Roque, La Garde Freinet (Var) Trained at the Beaux-Arts in Paris starting in 1949, Pierre Humbert developed a painting deeply connected to nature and the landscapes of Provence, exploring their forms, rhythms, and light. Created in 1962, this oil belongs to a particularly interesting period of his career, at a time when French painting was exploring new relationships between figuration and abstraction. Through its format and its grounding in post-war pictorial research, this work reflects a generation of artists for whom nature becomes a starting point towards a freer and more personal expression.
