Armand BOUVIER (1913–1997). Boats on the River, likely a view of Paris. Oil on canvas, signed lower left. Height: 60 cm - Width: 73 cm Note: A self-taught French painter born in Brittany, Armand Bouvier developed a figurative style marked by the influence of Fauvism. His work is distinguished by a broad, spontaneous brushstroke, as well as by the use of bold colors that give structure to the composition. He favors a free interpretation of the subject, in which color and light play a full role in the construction of the image.
