Christian Jequel
Christian Jekel is one of the most famous artists of modern France. His unusually luscious and vivid paintings tell about the fantastic beauty of the French South: the sea, lavender fields, small towns and uncomplicated peasant life. Bright colors, perhaps even brighter than in real life, are a hallmark of Christian Jekel's paintings. But, if you look closely, they no longer seem so bright - just a lot of mood, a lot of sun. This is Southern France in all its beauty.
