oil painting le damier rouge surrealist on board

Oil on Board titled `Le Damier Rouge` on the back C20 unframed

Original  unsigned, in the style of Magritte, very well executed
Damier rouge = red check
Overall in good condition, on hardboard, with a couple of minor small
marks that are not distracting, please ask for close up photosThis painting came from the dispersion Estate Sale of the 'lost' Paris
Gallery Poisson d'Or owner Jacqueline Chardon Lejeune 1926-2008
She was the lover for 6 years of the Roumanian painter Victor Brauner Dadaist and Surrealist
When their affair ended she 'disappeared' from the Paris Art World and
she set up an artists community buried deep in the countryside in the
Gers region of France where she encouraged well known artists to
experiment with different mediums and techniques
Latterly ever active and much loved she organised many exhibitions
Upon her death that house was shut with all the artists artwork inside
for several years until her lifetime collection was finally sold amid
much disagreement.
Due to French inheritance laws some of  the artists who were still alive
had to bid on their own works that were unsigned against Parisian art
dealers in order to buy them back to be able to sell again themselves
