📌The magnetic attraction of Jean-Pierre Cassigneul's art lies in his abiliti to transport the viewer to an edyllic world, evoking a sense of nostalgia. His beautiful composition of striking elegant women are similar in the tradition of the early 20th century French Nabis artists, like Bonnar and Vuillard. His work is greatly influenced by the expressionist painter, Kees Van Dongen, especially his very dramatic portraits and use of intense vibrant color. In Cassigneul's enigmatic imagery, the figures are frozen in time. His subjects remain lost in contemplation, inviting the viewer into the serenity of their world.
Our painting is a beautiful example of Cassigneul's elegant and iconic female figure. She is seated at a table with a thick, luck garden of rich green leaves and pale pink flowers behind her. In front of her is a plate of delectable looking French pastries, includind a cherry tart, for which the painting is named. Her delicate porcelain-colored arm rests on the table, her creamy scin accented by her black dress, bold turquoise eyelids, siltry dark lips and high cheekbones. Her beauty and elegance are enchanced by her pearl earrings and her chic, tawny colored fur hat. She seems lost in her thoughts, possibly waiting for someone to share the French delicacies.
