Product description
Of course, here is an adaptation of the description for the 1965 painting:
---
**Robert Detheux (1932-2010) - Monochrome Portrait 1965**
Discover this expressive portrait by Robert Detheux, dated 1965, measuring 44 cm x 36 cm. Created on paper, this work embodies a unique blend of realism and abstract expressionism.
**Work description**
This monochrome portrait of a woman is characterized by dynamic, expressive line work. The artist uses sketched lines and shading to create depth and texture. The hair, rendered with bold, flowing lines, adds movement to the composition, while the striking eyes, with detailed shading, lend the subject a lively quality.
The subtle use of blue in the background contrasts with the black lines of the portrait, reinforcing the visual impact without altering the monochrome theme. The minimalist approach allows us to concentrate on the subject's expression and emotion.
**Artistic context**
This work reflects the art of the mid-twentieth century, where the emphasis was on conveying emotion rather than precise representation. Detheux captures the essence of the subject with a minimum of detail, emphasizing emotion and character.
**Provenance**
Collection of the artist's family.
**Biography**
Robert Detheux, born in Brussels in 1932, established himself as a singular figure on the Belgian art scene in the 1950s, notably through his involvement with the Surrealist and Dadaist movements. His works testify to his ability to blend poetry, subversion and plastic invention. From the 1970s onwards, he moved towards lyrical abstraction, while retaining the influence of Surrealism and Dadaism.
**Email**
The work will be sent flat, very well protected.
