1946

While other artists were becoming more and more abstract, Francis Gruber preferred to paint human figures that were highly sculpted.
Gruber was influenced by Hieronymus Bosch and Albrecht Dürerand the Lorraine engraver Jacques Callot and became friends with the Swiss artist Alberto Giacometti.
“Nu au canapé vert” was part of the exhibition “Giacometti – Gruber. A shared look” at our gallery, in 2017.
