Michel Delacroix (French Born 1933) - MICHEL DELACROIX (BORN 1933) OIL ON BOARD. Michel Delacroix (French Born 1933) Neige rue du chateau (Snow on Castle Street) 1999 The classic French 'naif' style view of Paris in snow near the Montparnasse train station is signed by the artist lower left front and titled verso. Naif (or naive) style painting was a French tradition defined by a sophisticated, skillful, lighthearted and deliberate approach to making pictures rooted in simplicity and directness rather than formal academic style. The present example is a classic, and elevated, example with its clarity of form, detailed structure, visual wit and expressive use of color creating a nostalgic vibe. Michel Delacroix was an academically trained artist who studied traditional painting at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts before developing his own distinct style. His works have been exhibited internationally in Europe, the United States (over 300 exhibitions), and Japan; and are found in public institutions throughout France, including national and municipal collections.
