Oil on canvas. Signed and dated bottom right. Additional signature and date on the back, title on the frame. It also features a stamp of provenance with authentic signature from the "La Barcaccia" Gallery in Rome. Pignon was the son of miners, he moved to Paris in 1927, and worked as a construction worker and litographer, he attended evening classes and the Association of revolutionary artists and writers; in 1936 he met Picasso, with whom shared a deep friendship. Involved in the Resistance, he took part in the Salon de la libération in 1944. All of his pieces, from the thirties, with bright colours and strongly built volumes, to those after 1948, with more fluid strokes but charged with expressive violence, are always in touch with objective reality, represented in never descriptive shapes, spaces and movements. Next to the themes of social inspiration, he also developed different themed series: Olive Trees, Cockfights, Heads of Warriors, Harvesters and Nudes. This piece belongs to the "Beaches" series. Framed. Comes with autenthication on photo.
