About the artwork
Finished just moments ago, the artist presents this new and stunning depiction of Terpsychore, the muse of poetry and dance. When the light strikes the artwork from one direction, a shadow line appears yet, when light falls on the artwork from the opposite direction, a white line seems to appear (please see images). Jean cleverly uses a change in the entaille (paper cut) to achieve this effect and it is something well-known and loved by collectors of his work, worldwide. The size shown is for the framed work.Terpsychore 4

Raised and educated in Paris, my artistic interest was nurtured in the 50’s, amongst the art and jazz communities on the Left Bank. I aim to portray the duality between the mundane and the supra-mundane. My modern creations, mainly based on classical mythological beings, express a transcendental vision of abstracted beauty.
