Les Dandys, Lithograph From 1929 Designed By George De Sonneville Les Dandys - George De Sonneville, 1929

Les Dandys, lithograph from 1929 designed by George de Sonneville. Size: 46 x 61 cm. George de Sonneville (1889-1978) was one of the founders of the "Salon des Indépendants Bordelais," an artists' association in Bordeaux modeled after the famous "Salon des Indépendants" of Paris. The Salon provided independent artists with the opportunity to exhibit their work outside of traditional art salons and established institutions starting from 1928. In this group portrait of Les Dandys, we see the gentlemen who were members of this illustrious club. A depiction of elegance and individuality. There is an atmosphere of sophistication and self-assurance. A gay company with a mix of nonchalant confidence and caricatured facial expressions. The central figure (presumably De Sonneville himself) is being crowned with a wreath. Gentlemen with a relaxed lifestyle and rebellious spirit, naturally possessing taste and social status. After this moment of attention, conversations return to art, literature, aesthetics, and societal issues, with a touch of irony and refined humor. Price: Euro 650,-
