Sacre Coeur, Pink Skies

Circa 1950

Provenance: Private Collection, Palm Beach USA. 

The iconic view of the Sacre Coeur was one of Venards favourites to paint. Splashes of red, pink and purple shine through the incredible thick and textured impasto. Venard's incredible technique emphasizes structure and form, blending realism with abstraction. By distorting perspectives and enhancing contrasts, he offers a unique interpretation of Paris, highlighting its vitality and rhythm. His paintings are not just just representations of the city but also expressions of its energy.
