(Oscar EPFS) Dessin original à l'encre, feutres, crayons et graphite portant une dédicace autographe signée à son amante française

(Oscar EPFS)

Lawrence DURRELL

Dessin original à l'encre, feutres, crayons et graphite portant une dédicace autographe signée à son amante française

1969, dessin 1963, 31,9x47,6cm, une feuille.


Original drawing in ink, pencil and felt-tip pen with an autograph inscription signed to his French lover

1969 | drawing 1963 | 31.9 x 47.6 cm | single sheet

An original drawing signed and dated 1963, on thick paper, with an autograph inscription from the artist at the bottom dated 1969.
An exceptional original ink, pencil, and felt-tip color drawing by Lawrence Durrell, signed with his artist's pseudonym of '[Oscar] Epfs 1963'».
This work was given to his French lover Janine Brun in 1969 and has an exceptional inscription «My dear Buttons. I have asked my friend Oscar Epfs to give me a small drawing for your studio. Here it is. I hope it gives you Happy memories of Paris and meetings with Miller! Your devoted Laurence Durrell / Sommières / 1969.»
This work is steeped in his long years in Greece and one can see one of Durrell's favorite themes, the Greek church with its dome and cross, recalling the island landscapes so dear to the author. In varicolored inks and colored pencils, his drawings are bathed in Mediterranean light and enriched with miniatures in felt-tip. Durrell kept up his writing and painting right to the end of his life at Sommières, paying homage to Provence and the Mediterranean with his numerous drawings and gouaches, as well as his final novel, Caesar's Vast Ghost.
