Deocrative Lacquered Panel in the Manner of Bernard Buffet by Maurice Alvo

Decorative Lacquered Panel in the Manner of Bernard Buffet by Maurice Alvo France: circa 1950 Painter, specialist in lacquer wall decorations, Maurice Alvo participated in several group exhibitions during the 1950s, notably alongside Jean Lurçat, Roger Fumeron and Bernard Dunand. He worked for the decorator Jean Royère who presented his creations in particular during an exhibition devoted to lacquer panels organized in 1956 at his gallery Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris. In 1961, Maurice Alvo created the large decorative frescoes on the theme of navigation for the entrance hall of the Tourist class of the France ocean liner. Our panel, by its theme, its composition and its colors, is in the same stylistic vein as the monumental frescoes of the famous ocean liner.
