Description
Mathurin MÉHEUT (1882–1958) The Pilgrims’ Meal or A Meal of Forgiveness Casein on kraft paper mounted on plywood 97 x 68 cm (some damage) Provenance: Private collection, Paris Bibliography: Denise Delouche, Anne de Stoop and Patrick le Tiec, *Mathurin Méheut*, published by La Chasse Marée ArMen, 2001, illustrated in colour on p. 305 “Beyond appearances, [Mathurin Méheut] seeks to capture human temperaments, the atmosphere of a scene, the character of a region. [...] A ‘reconciliation meal’ is rendered in large, simplified forms; the brick-red of the tents is as solid as that of the dresses, whilst the black and white form a zigzagging diagonal line stretching into the distance. [...] Let us emphasise the sumptuousness of the whites, set off here by the black, there by a section of the kraft paper serving as the backing.” Mathurin Méheut, published by La Chasse Marée ArMen, 2001, pp. 304 and 305
