“ Still Life with Bottles”Original Oil on Canvas Painting by Michel LE ROY (1916 – 2008)

Trained in Paris in direct contact with the avant-garde, Michel Le Roy was a pupil and disciple of Robert Delaunay, from whom he retained the power of color, while absorbing the teachings of Vassily Kandinsky and Albert Gleizes. Marked by war and captivity, his work combines rigorous construction with inner intensity. His still lifes sometimes resemble Bernard Buffet’s expressive, circled style. Present at numerous salons and exhibitions, Le Roy evolved at the heart of the XXᵉ century art scene, exhibiting notably alongside Georges Braque, Pablo Picasso, Raoul Dufy and Francis Picabia.
