FAUVIST FRENCH INK PAINTING BY LOUIS VALTAT FRAMED - Louis Valtat, French, 1869 to 1952, ink painting on paper depicting a coastal scene with human figures and ships. Signed with initials, lower right. Framed. Louis Valtat is known for Portrait, figure, still life and landscape painting. A leading founder of the Fauvist movement, Louis Valtat was an independent and versatile painter.

Forms are simplified and flattened, giving precedence to a patterned, decorative surface. European Fine Art, Wall Art, and Collectibles. One of a kind artwork. Dimensions Frame 16 3/4 x 14 1/4 in.
