Two Fish

Circa 1947 

Provenance: Gallery Romanet, Paris circa 1948. Sothebys New York circa 1985. Private Collection, UK.

Venard often painted fish into his still life paintings, he was fascinated by their scales and reflective skin. Venard has transformed the simple motif of fish in a dynamic composition, using bold lines and geometric shapes. Venard's striking contrast breathes life in the subject, turning it into a vivid exploration of form and colour.
