About the Item

Louis Goyet (1907-1982) Portrait of a Young Girl Oil on canvas H. 61 cm - W. 46 cm Unsigned Louis Goyet is another example of a working-class painter. Living in the Lyon suburb of Villeurbanne, Goyet worked nights for the OTL (Omnibus and Tramways of Lyon), where he was responsible for track maintenance. While he seems to have taken some drawing classes, it is known that he was close to the brilliant Maurice Ferréol, whose colors his paintings sometimes adopt. Goyet's paintings are extraordinary for their solid and proud presence. Averse to any notion of seduction, the painter chose his subjects from his everyday life. Self-portraits, quiet and peaceful interiors, a wife busy with household chores, children playing simple games—his entire world expresses a simple and unashamed happiness, the joy of beautiful Sundays. In contrast, a certain playful, anarchistic streak illuminates some compositions where humor blends with a keen sense of observation and strongly held opinions. Far more than a simple naive artist, Goyet demonstrates an acute and realistic awareness of his world, which he admirably shares with us through his painting.
