Pierre Gilles, Self Portrait in Blue Palette, 1940s, Oil on Canvas

About This Piece

An early self portrait by Breton painter Pierre Gilles (1913 - 1993). This vintage French oil on canvas dates from c. 1945 and is a wonderful example of Gilles' beautiful and subtle use of colour.

Gilles was born in Morbihan and took up painting full time in his 30s after being held as a prisoner of war and finding it a key part of his subsequent recuperation. He quickly gained acclaim, winning prizes across France and Europe. In later life he set up the free painting academy 'L'Escabeau' in Rennes.

Oil on canvas. Portrait format. Unframed.
