Daniel Couture [Dining Table] Oil painting 40x40cm 2010 [Framed]

French art critic Jean-Roger Valere wrote that Daniel Cuture's paintings are not merely beautiful in their harmony of colors. They are vivid and natural depictions, and also literary works born from his sensibility and experience. Born in Paris in 1930, after graduating from École des Arts Appliqués, an elite commercial design school, he continued to paint even while working as a designer. From the 1970s, he became a popular artist in France and America. After 1990, he lived in his father's hometown in southern France and continued to paint works full of happiness with bright colors under the bright light of southern France. 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, he lost the ability to distinguish colors due to long-term overuse of his eyes. Painting production also stopped.
