René Margotton (1915-2009) was a French painter from the School of Paris, one of the last cubists of the 20th century. He was born in Roanne, France in 1915 and died in 2009. He studied at the national school of fine arts of Paris and later with Fernand Leger friend of Maurice Utrillo and Bernard Buffet. Although Margotton used watercolours early in his career, he later experimented with oils and continued to work almost exclusively with that medium. The work offered shows a beautifully surreal work by this artist. This work comes from a private collection. The piece is beautifully framed in a matching handmade frame.
