Description
René QUERE (Ploaré, 1932 - Douarnenez, 2021)
Among the crates, the buoys, the anchors..." Watercolour and ink captioned: "Among the crates, the buoys, the anchors...".
Watercolour and ink captioned: "Among the crates, the buoys, the anchors. Kneeling on the deck slippery with blood and sea, an "easy position" for disembowelling fish with long, sharp knives. The life of a sailor at work doesn't really speak to the realities of the subject without his "tense body" clinging to the planks of the "boat" punctuated by the short, strong, deep ocean waves of the Iroise".
Height: 20 cm. Width: 28 cm. Sight.
René Quéré embarked several times on his uncles' boats. These experiences gave rise to watercolours depicting the harsh life on board.
