Daniel Couture [Regatta] Oil painting 40x40cm 2006 [Framed]

French art critic Jean-Roger Valere wrote that Daniel Cuture's paintings are not merely beautiful as a harmony of colors. They are vivid and natural depictions, as well as literary works born from his sensibility and experience. Born in Paris in 1930, Cuture graduated from the elite commercial design school École des Arts Appliqués. Even while working as a designer, he continued to paint, and from the 1970s, he became a popular artist in France and the America. After 1990, he lived in his father's hometown in the South of France, where he continued to create works full of happiness with bright colors under the bright light of the region. In Japan, solo exhibitions and visiting exhibitions were held at famous department stores such as Sapporo Mitsukoshi, Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi, and Kobe Daimaru from 2004 onwards, but in 2012, due to years of eye strain, he became unable to distinguish colors, and his painting production came to a halt.
