Pot Noir

Circa 1959

Provenance: Frost & Reed, London. Private Collection, UK.

A striking, bold and vibrant work, with beautiful thick impasto, Such a simple composition and yet an intriguing and expressive technique, so unique to Venard. The two apples look almost sculptural as they are so heavy with texture and impasto. A visually engaging work where the interplay of colour, form and texture reflect his broader artistic exploration of abstraction and structure.
