Whitford Fine Art is delighted to announce its forthcoming exhibition entitled CAZIEL: Drawings and Watercolours 1935 - 1952 - The Paris Years, 12 February - 05 March 2010.
In the climate of the time, fresco and architectural work seemed to reflect a new national pride and coincided with the pan-European crisis of belief in easel painting. Caziel executed various large frescoes and ,although the frescoes were destroyed during the war, some of the designs still exist, showing simplified monumental figures derived from Polish folk art but with a fauvist flavour. His designs for the ballet, with joyfully floating nude figures, are reminiscent of late Matisse.
