• Fautrier is recognized as a pioneer of post-war painting and had a significant influence on movements such as Art Informel.
• He radically reduces the classical portrait: the human figure appears fragmented, almost archaic.
• Fautrier’s paintings are eat, among others, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Nationalgalerie in Berlin
.

Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by Dominique Fautrier, the artist’s son. We are grateful for his kind support.
