Daniel Couture [Blue Bouquet] Oil painting No. 6, 2011 [Framed]

French art critic Jean-Roger Valere wrote that Daniel Cuture's paintings are not merely beautiful in their harmony with color; they are vivid and natural depictions, as well as literary works born from his sensibility and experience. Born in Paris in 1930, Cuture continued to paint even while working as a designer after graduating from the elite commercial design school École des Arts Appliqués, becoming a popular artist in France and America from the 1970s. After 1990, he lived in his father's hometown in Southern France, where, under the bright light of the region, he continued to create works brimming with happiness using vibrant colors. 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 years of eye strain. Painting production also ceased.
