About the Item

A very beautiful 20th century French naïf oil on canvas depicting the house of Madame and Monsieur Gasgard at Place de la Republique, Somme, France, by André Demonchy. The work is signed lower left, as well as being inscribed, signed and dated 1981 on the reverse. Presented in a fine Montparnasse frame. A charming and unique painting. The artist is featured in Anatole Jakovsky's ''Peintres Naïfs'' which is known as the bible of 20th century French naïf painters. Artist: André Demonchy (French, 1914-2003) Title: Maison de Madame et Monsieur Gasgard Medium: Oil on canvas Size: 27.5 x 31.5 inches (70cm x 80cm) including the frame André Demonchy was a true naïf painter of the 20th century. Orphaned by WW1, he spent his childhood and adolescence on various farms in the Yonne district, placed there by Welfare authorities. After army service, he worked on the railways. But he had suffered too much and never known affection. He was haunted by leaden, snowladen skies. He started to paint around 1946. Fate smiled on him as an artist fairly quickly, with regular exhibitions between 1949 and 1964, but not to the extent of his being able to give up his work on the railway.
