Daniel Couture [Anemone] Oil painting 40x40cm 2011 [Framed]

French art critic Jean-Roger Valière wrote that Daniel Coutures' paintings are not merely beautiful as a harmony of colors. They are vivid, 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 school for commercial design, he continued to paint even while working as a designer and became a popular artist in France and the United States from the 1970s. From 1990 onwards, he lived in his father's hometown in southern France, where he continued to paint works full of happiness with bright colors under the bright light of southern France. In Japan, solo exhibitions and touring 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 could no longer distinguish colors, and painting production stopped.
