Product description
**Robert Detheux (1932-2010) - "Dreamer" (1961)**
Discover "Rêveur", a captivating work by Robert Detheux, dated 1961, measuring 37 cm x 25.5 cm. Created on paper, it perfectly illustrates the Belgian artist's minimalist, introspective approach.
**Work description
"Rêveur" presents a face with a contemplative expression, drawn with soft, minimalist red lines. The delicate contours and use of empty space give the image an ethereal, introspective quality. The beige background and visible paper texture add an organic dimension to the composition.
**Artistic context**
Although this work predates Detheux's Surrealist and Dadaist period, it already demonstrates his ability to fuse simplicity and emotional depth. "Rêveur" retains a timelessness thanks to its pared-down style and subtle visual impact.
**Provenance**
Collection of the artist's family.
