Description
Claude Le Roy (Algerian, born 1936) “Let’s go to the ‘Gardeners of Memory’ exhibition in Bègles”, 1992 Painted envelope. Signed, titled and dated. Dedicated on the reverse to Laurent Danchin. Height 47, Width 39 cm. Provenance: collection of Laurent Danchin (1946–2017), writer, essayist and art critic, passed down through the family. Born in Oran, a customs officer by profession, El Roy took up drawing as a self-taught artist at around the age of 41, developing a graphic style reminiscent of writing that evolved into an ‘imaginary Arabic calligraphy’. He maintained a regular correspondence with Jean Dubuffet between 1977 and 1985. His works are held at the Musée de la Création Franche in Bègles.
