Description
Portrait” by Jean Paul Proix 1962
Oil on canvas, signed and dated on the front, left side.
Non-figurative period of the artist.
Extract from his personal website:
“I'm part of a generation whose guiding lights were Picasso,
Matisse, Kandinsky, Klee and Fernand Léger, whose pupil I was.
A generation mainly preoccupied with the form, the writing, the sign
and very little with the subject. The role of witness of his time seemed to us to be reserved for photography. And for this reason, I gradually
oriented, from 1956 towards "non-figuration" with concerns
more or less close to the group "Cobra", and that until 1969.
However, the absence of reference to reality sometimes resulting
in aesthetics, I had the feeling of often redoing the same picture
and wanting something else. As a reaction, I chose hyperrealism for a fairly long period (a period marked, however, by a few crises of abstraction)
and since 2004, I felt the need to orient myself towards another form of expression, where the unconscious , the gesture and the color freeing themselves from objective representation, my approach becomes more playful and the surprises almost daily.

Jean-Paul Proix (1926-2022)
December 29, 2022
Jean-Paul Proix died in his 97th year on December 27, 2022. Painting was his whole life, but it is much more than a painter who is leaving us. He is a friend, a wise epicurean with whom we have shared so many good times of complicity for more than ten years.
When Jean-Paul Proix became a pupil of Fernand Léger in 1950, he had already assimilated the teachings of two Ecoles des Beaux-Arts (including that of Paris) and started to professionalize. And it was until his last year that he continued to paint as he breathed: "quietly, serenely, voluptuously", in the words of the philosopher André Comte-Sponville, his longtime friend and admirer.
Abstraction will undoubtedly have been the great business of his life as a painter. Of course, we are also familiar with Jean-Paul Proix's landscapes, still lifes and other figurative - not to say hyperrealistic - subjects which have seduced collectors since the 1980s. But before that, he had been part of the avant-garde of the 1960s, a period during which he had developed a powerfully expressionist and gestural abstract style.

To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.

The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the delivery costs are non-refundable.
To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.
Can I return an item?
At Vinterior, we understand that sometimes a piece may not be the perfect fit once it's in your home. That's why we offer a 14-day return policy, allowing you to return any item within 14 days from the date of delivery for any reason.
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund or to have the issue fixed when possible.

Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
How to request a return
To initiate a return the customer needs to log in to their Vinterior account and click Create a return on the order page. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.
How you will be refunded?
Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt of the item, and Vinterior will refund the original payment method.
If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.
What can't be returned?
As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.
Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.
Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
