Raymond Peynet is the most popular illustrator in 20th century France, with several museums in France and Japan. His works depict the love between lovers, always surrounded by small animals, trees, and flowers. Peynet's works convey a message of love and peace, and his empathy for small animals and plants leads to environmental protection. In Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, a sculpture of Peynet's lovers is placed as a symbol of world peace. This print was produced in France as a series in 1985. Of course, it is new. It is sold out even in France, and only used items are available on the market. Please refer to the following website for information on Peynet's museums, etc.

【Work Commentary】
A man is feeding a small bird nestled in his lover's breast. The lover seems to be a simple and modest woman. The basket she holds contains flowers picked from the ground. She must have come to pick these flowers. The color palette consists of transparent blue sky, intermediate colors of blue and yellow (green), and intermediate colors of blue and red (pink), all of which are harmonious and stable, creating a calm harmony of colors. The light brown clothing gives a落ち着いた impression. In the distance, a castle-like building is depicted, but it is not a castle, but a cluster of small houses where ordinary people live. Does the small bird nestled in her breast want to fly with her to a more dazzling world? However, the small bird seems to happily peck at what the not-so-wealthy man offers. Even if it's modest, the gentle nature and peaceful daily life are filled with love by the kind man. One can feel Peynet's loving gaze. There seems to be something more important than money or honor.
Yasuhiro Takeda, Galerie Adekat
In 1992, Galerie Adekat purchased 5000 copies from Mr. Alexandre Tocart, the nephew of Mr. Muret (Raymond Peynet's publisher, who collaborated with Raymond Peynet to produce his prints and to whom Raymond Peynet added his autograph) and the representative of the French distributor (Éditions des Cercles) of those prints.
Galerie Adekat managed Gallery Vende France at Karuizawa Prince Hotel for 20 years from 1995 to 2015, and thus had a close relationship with the Peynet Museum in Karuizawa. To foster exchange between the Karuizawa Peynet Museum and the Raymond Peynet and Humorous Painters Museum in Antibes, southern France, Galerie Adekat was dispatched by the Karuizawa Peynet Museum and continues to interact with the Antibes Peynet Museum and Raymond Peynet's daughter, Annie Peynet.

Raymond Peynet's art world depicts a paradise where small animals and plants coexist joyfully, centered around the love of lovers. In the 21st century, with environmental destruction and ongoing wars, Raymond Peynet's paintings of love and peace are a message for today. We hope that by experiencing Raymond Peynet's world surrounded by peace, love, and gentle nature, you will cultivate a heart that values peace, love, and our fellow inhabitants of Earth: nature, animals, and plants.
