Portrait Oil On Panel ” the smoking pierrot ” By Armand Henrion

Extra info about the artist :

Armand Henrion was born in Liege, Belgium May 30, 1875, and died in Paris in 1958.

Henrion’s literal transformation of Pierrot into himself ,presents a unique twist on the legacy of the views of this character in whom artists have long seen themselves echoed.In portraying himself as Pierrot, Henrion explored nuances of humor as his expressions in the works encompass the facial expressions conveying such qualities as the tongue-in-cheek ,the retort, the comeback, the riposte, and the droll comment.

Henrion’s animated, gestural handling in the creation of the small jewel-like depictions concurs with the feeling they convey of a light-hearted sense that life is to be enjoyed.

Most of his clowns are self portraits ….
