Louis Cardin Enamel on Copper Landscapes
$ 99.99
The painting is about 8 x 10 inches. The gold frame is about 14 x 16 inches. The scene shows a dark-haired girl holding a bouquet of flowers sitting next to a brown-haired girl. Two other children are running in the background by a lake with a sailboat. The colors are vibrant. Louis Cardin (b. 1931) is known for his enamel on copper impressionistic “paintings” of children and nature. This piece is a limited edition of 500 (this is #269 of 500) and was created for the Collectors’ Guild, Ltd. Louis Cardin’s works are characterized by an extraordinary lyricism and intensity of feeling, and total mastery of color and light. The difficult art of the enamel, virtually unchanged over the centuries, requires many time-consuming and delicate steps as the authentic enamel is built up layer by layer. As many as eight or ten separate enamel colors go into each work of art, and each must be fired separately. By the very nature of enameling, no two enamels are ever exactly alike. Thus, though 500 of this enameled scene were created, each one is a little different. Mr. Cardin’s works have been exhibited in major European museums and galleries around the world.
