Maison Forte Cheyrac

Maison Forte Cheyrac  is a original pencil drawing on paper, realized around 1960's by the French artist  André Roland Brudieux  (1921-1999).

Monogrammed in pencil   "ARB “ on the lower right margin.

Representing a splendid view of the Cheyrac Castle, a fortress that may have belonged to Polignac, with a view of the Italian gardens, with a rapid sign and delicate nuances, this modern artwork is in very good conditions, including a cardboard passepartout (cm 34 x 49).

On the back,  "Ladrat"  written in pencil, as generally the artists-travelers report on the sketches.

André Roland Brudieux  (Saint-Moreil, Creuse, France, 1921 – Paris, 1999)

The French artist spent his youth in Vendôme, in the departement of  Loire-et-Cher , where he worked as a wallpaper stenciller. In 1939 he began to engrave and, in 1941, moved to Paris, studing at the  École du Louvre  between 1945-1957.

Talented draftsman and sensitive artist, André Roland Brudieux was a member of  Surrealist mouvement , gravitating around André Breton and participating in Surrealist exhibitions in 1950. He also began to experiment the woodcut technique in 1997. Best-known as engraver or draftsman of natural landscapes, he was also a writer, who attended the great Parisian salons, and a collector of old wallpapers and artwork.
