'Le restaurant a la petite chaise à Paris', oil on canvas, 33 cm x 24 cm, signed, verso signed, Paris location, titled, minimally craquelured, minimally spotted.
In predominantly naive painting, Michel Delacroix mostly captures Parisian street scenes in his paintings. The artist was born in the French capital in 1933 and lives and works there. However, his works do not seem to be contemporary observations, but the viewer is transported back to the past of the last century. The artist's works seem like harmonious and carefree memories. The clothing of the figures and the whole arrangement almost opens up a stage set for us. Yet his artistic design is not large and intended for, as Schiller called it: ''the boards that mean the world'', but remains in a correspondingly smaller format and fine painting.
