Curatorial Narrative The enigmatic figure of “Mre de l’artiste de profil” by Albert Marquet occupies a pivotal position within the Expressionist movement. Conceived in the early decades of the 20th century, this work embodies the artist’s unique blend of Impressionism and Fauvism, as evidenced by his fine brushwork and nuanced palette. The black-and-white tones employed here lend an air of modernity and restraint, while simultaneously alluding to the rich textures and tonalities of the era’s Art Deco and Modernist design sensibilities. As this work is enlarged to a scale of 44×56 inches, its chromatic structure assumes a heightened sense of spatial rhythm, with the artist’s masterful use of chiaroscuro creating an immersive atmospheric weight.
