About the Item

Fun figurative oil on canvas by the talented Yvonne Pene Du Bois. Emotion, detail, lighting, and two cute dogs! Signed lower right. Yvonne Pène du Bois (1913–1997) was an American artist who specialized in architectural subjects and landscapes. She received her art education privately from her father, Guy Pène du Bois, and as a student at the Art Students League. She once said that her three greatest influences were her father, artist Edward Hopper, and architect Hugh Ferriss. She said she intended her paintings to evoke emotions and to be expressive rather than analytic. She worked almost entirely in oil-on-canvas. She painted in her studio from sketches made in the field. During her career, she exhibited widely in both nonprofit and commercial galleries, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Corcoran Gallery of Art. In 1985, the Graham Gallery in New York held a retrospective exhibition showcasing four decades of her work. Critics praised her for good draughtsmanship and handling of color. She spent most of her youth in France and later established her career in New York.
