Yves HERSENT (French, 1925 – 1987) Nu à l’Armoire Signed YH (lower right) Dated and Studio stamp on the back Oil on canvas. Excellent condition Beautiful,custom hand-made, modern floating style frame Yves Hersent, a student of the fresco painter R. Lesbounit, was part of the “group of Montparnasse”, a gathering of modernist artists, from 1942 to 1948. Then, a student of the “Arts Décoratifs” of Paris, under the teaching of the leading artist of the “Réalité Poétique” Maurice Brianchon, Hersent felt close to the Nabis movement. His winning of First Prize for the Art category for the city of Paris gave him a position as a professor in several schools of the capital from 1948 to 1958. From 1958 to1985, he directed a private school “Les Travaux Pratiques” organized as a studio to teach drawing, painting but also photography, cinema and television. The awakening and developing of budding artistic talents gave full meaning to Hersent’s life; probably at his own artistic career’s expenses. In 1981 he almost died, from then on he realized that he had very little time and dedicated all his free time to paint for himself. His focus was to paint all that he had always dreamed of, desired or lived: the female body in its most sensual and natural state of abandonment. Controlled erotism became the recurring theme of his work that, at the decline of his life, he sublimated, creating elaborate compositions, well-balanced and filled with light.
