Condition: excellent, ready to hang. Frame: Black frame with a yellow inner border, satisfactory condition Maxime Dufour (1928-2016) is a French painter, illustrator and poster designer. Originating from studies combining fine arts and architecture, he throughout his life maintained a rigorously structured artistic line, very drawn graphical works and a marked fondness for vivid colors. This aesthetic approach allows him to develop a particularly impressive and varied artistic production throughout his career. In the second half of the 20th century, his talent is abundantly expressed through commercial advertising and cultural illustration. He designed numerous large-scale advertising campaigns as well as memorable institutional posters, notably for the airline Air Gabon or for occupational risk prevention. His work profoundly marks the world of popular music from the 1950s to the 1980s. Indeed, he signs the sleeves and album covers of French chanson icons such as Johnny Hallyday and Eddie Mitchell. Alongside his commissioned works, Maxime Dufour builds a remarkable personal pictorial oeuvre. His canvas or cardboard creations, often signed only with his first name “MAXIME,” evolve toward abstract compositions and acrylics with strong geometric forms. Regularly featured at public auctions in France, his paintings continue to testify to the richness of his colorful and rigorous visual universe.
