Charles DUFRESNE (1876-1938). Bear hunting, circa 1919. Oil on canvas signed lower right (major craquelure, two minor restorations). Height 105 cm - Width 105 cm Bibliography: reproduced on p54 in the Musée d'Art Moderne de Troyes exhibition catalog, Charles Dufresne, 1876-1938: retrospective, Musée d'Art Moderne de Troyes, October 25, 1927-January 25, 1988, Troyes, 1987. Note: as art critic Raymond Cogniat pointed out, Georges-Charles Dufresne, known as Charles Dufresne, skilfully navigated between the Fauves and the Cubists. This work testifies to his return to Paris in 1912, when he abandoned pastel for oil and used darker colors, influenced by new schools and probably the war.
