Oil on canvas, 81 x 65 cm
Signed upper right: A. LHote 1920-29
André LHote was an autodidact with a very intelligent way of painting, till 1940 he was also working as an art-criticus at the "Nouvelle Revue Francaise". He had a great influence on the art in Paris by having his own art-academie in de rue Odessa at Paris. He worked in a cubistic way inwhich the transformation of figures and surfaces by colour and line was a subtile way of the expression of movement even in the portraits he painted.
Our painting "Marguerite au chapeau de paille" is a nice example of his ambition to perfect his ideas.
