Lot description
Anton Martineau (1926-2017) Loli Flores, Sevilla Signed lower right Signed and titled on the reverse Oil on canvas, 170.3 x 99.9 cm Note: In Martineau's work, spontaneous drawing plays a significant role. Subjects primarily include: tango, dancing couples, eroticism, the drama of love and death, absurd portraits, and still lifes. Women and the feminine dominate the masculine in his emotionally charged work. His lyrical style was sometimes associated with the expressionism of Cobra and in particular the artist Lucebert. He was befriended with Karel Appel, Corneille, and the poet Gerrit Kouwenaar, as well as Jan Sierhuis, who once advised him to create less sexually explicit work in order to sell more... Due to his desire to follow a completely unique path, he didn't seek close alignment with Cobra. However, the development of his work in the mid-1960s coincided with the zeitgeist of the Provo movement and the sexual revolution. * Please note: condition reports and additional photos are available upon request.
