Original oil painting by Alvaro Guillot, titled Le Jour Se Leve (The Day Rises), dated 1970. This striking surrealist composition features a bold depiction of a rooster in an abstracted rural landscape, employing a dynamic mix of earthy tones and vibrant accents. Guillot's expressive style brings depth and movement to the scene, making this piece a captivating addition to any collection. Guillot was part of the Parisian art movement in the mid-20th century, mingling with major figures of the Surrealist and post-war European art circles. He spent considerable time in France, where he refined his style, drawing influence from both the classical and avant-garde traditions. Over time, his work evolved to reflect a deep preoccupation with symbolism, the subconscious, and dreamlike imagery. In later years, Guillot settled in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where his work took on a new dimension influenced by the stark beauty of the Southwestern landscape. His palette became more arid and earthy, and his subjects began to reflect the quiet mysticism of the desert. Signed in the upper right corner. Title, artist's name, and date inscribed on the verso. Framed in an ornate gilt frame with a linen mat. Artist: Alvaro Guillot (Uruguayan, 1931-2010) Issued: 1970 Dimensions: 30.5"L x 36.5"H Country of Origin: United States
