Charles Guérin

Charles Guérin (1875-1939) was a French artist known for his expressive and often dramatic drawings and paintings. The images show two of Guérin's works, a sketch for a theatrical production and a portrait. The sketch for "Le Roi Candaule" is executed in a bold and dynamic style, capturing the energy and emotion of the scene. Guérin's use of line and shading conveys the figures' movements and expressions with striking impact. The portrait exhibits similar traits, displaying a bold application of paint to achieve a raw and expressive representation of the sitter. The style is suggestive of early 20th century French modernism.
