DEVAL Pierre (1897 - 1993) "Little Girl with a Red Ribbon" Pastel Signed bottom left Beautiful work finely executed in pastel by the artist Pierre Deval, depicting a young girl with a red ribbon. The colors are vibrant, the technique masterful. Born in Lyon into a family of silk workers, cousin and godson of Claude Farrère, he showed early talent for painting and drawing. In 1921, he took classes at La Grande Chaumière in Paris. With friends: René Clair, Eluard, Breton, Aragon … he participated in Dada manifestations and hosted the first Max Ernst exhibition. Later, in Algiers, he met Albert Marquet. In his wake, upon his return to France, he frequented notably Manguin, Camoin, Jean Puy, Friez and Matisse. It was in 1925 that the artist settled in Orvès, in the Toulon region. The Orvès estate, of which he was the owner, would provide a great source of inspiration. This artist of many talents expresses himself in all genres and with all techniques. He painted portraits of many Var residents in pastel. It is through his skill as a pastellist that he excels in his art and manages to convey the beauty of the female nude bodies in the light of the Côte d’Azur. He regularly exhibited in galleries and at autumn salons.
