Jaqueline De Jong 1939 - 2024 L'heure pile. 1965. Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower left. Again signed, dated, and titled on the reverse of the canvas. 95.5 x 194 cm (37.5 x 76.3 in). [KA]. • Jacqueline de Jong depicts the hustle and bustle of modern life in a dynamic, expressive manner with a subtle sense of humor. • The title of the work, “L’heure pile” (roughly “Right on the Hour”), ironically alludes to the time-driven pace of post-war Modernism. • De Jong is considered a defining figure of the European post-war avant-garde. • The artist’s works are included in major museum collections such as the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, and the Moderna Museet in Stockholm. We are grateful to the Jacqueline de Jong Foundation, Amsterdam, for the kind assistance. PROVENANCE: Art dealer Brinkman, Amsterdam (label on the back of the stretcher).
