About the Item

The Masquerade, oil painting signed lower right JANSEM. The painting size is 38"x51" with framed (original frame) size 47"x60". Excellent in condition. From 1934 – 1936 he attended a variety of evening classes in Montparnasse and the Marais., but it was in the works of Picasso that he found his grand revelation.. Before he was sixteen he had been admitted to the Ecole des Arts Decoratifs (1936 - 1938) where Beianchon, Leguelt and Oudet exercised a silent and unobtrusive influence on the young artist. During 1937 he completed a training course at the Beaux-Arts and at Atelier Sabatier. In 1950 he went to Greece and it was in the Mediterranean that he discovered light, until then his painting had been sombre. Throughout the Greek countryside he eagerly sketched the shadowy figures who had surrounded him in his infancy and who until then had remained hidden in his subconscious mind - peasants, fishermen, tradesmen. All these he submitted to his friendly scrutiny, these men, women and children whose work was the same from one ocean to another and from one continent to another. He stripped them of the accessories that particular societies might have added to their essential, changeless characteristics.
