Description: CLAUDE LUCA Vintage Framed Still Life Oil Painting Flower Arrangement Early work by famed French artist Signed by Artist Size of Frame:11.25 x 9.25 inches Very Good Condition About the Artist: Claude Luca (1939)Expressionist PainterNicknamed "the painter of the light,' his compositions are born of his permanent spiritual search for the world in which we live. He fixes on his canvases images of a strong intensity between realism and abstraction. Virtuoso colors, he does not need to play with chiaroscuro effects to make his paintings bright. This child of Italian immigrants, whose parents left Mussolini's fascist Italy, built his life in the Mediterranean city of Marseille, the city of a thousand colors, with unique lights and reflections of this enchanted Provence...For Claude, color is the essence of his painting. He who, as he likes to say with his musical accent and this softness in his voice, makes his painting sing with his colors. Moreover, he does not really consider himself a painter, but more precisely, a colorist painter. Because his sensitivity is heightened by primary hues, these subtleties of nuances. His watercolors are the best witness to this.But, let's not be mistaken, this passionate about the Other, creates his work according to his encounters, feeds on this little nothing that we call Life. He says it with emotion in his voice, "My value is my life in spirit, when I go painting in the street, or when I go on the roads on foot, on the back of a donkey, I live my painting, at the moment I am painting in Villefranche, its colors, its atmosphere, it brings me a lot".This expressionist, who has his studio near the old port in Marseille, has had up to 30 companions to work with him. He paints life, such as the Marseille Dockers among others. But he has more than one trick on his palette, and has also produced gigantic frescoes during his long career, for hotels in Cannes such as the Martinez, the famous Ritz hotel in Paris... Claude has worked in very diverse fields as a colorist expert in mass distribution, so recognized are his eye and his examination.Claude also claims his hat as a painter-reporter, he loves this activity enormously, "I am a lover of anonymity, because when you are anonymous you are true" which is why he has participated for example every year for a long time as a painter in the world pétanque championship in Marseille. These reports are colorful, screaming simplicity, honesty and truthfulness."I am not looking for anything other than the present moment" this tenderness for everyday life, for others, for Life, is after all his greatest treasure. He is aware of it, but should we not take an example from this true, delicate, talented and humble man...
