Artwork location: France

A young girl holding a cornet looks at us, wearing a black bowler hat, the pearls of her necklace intertwining with the notes of a musical staff.

Oil on canvas, 15F format, titled on the back of the canvas. It is framed in its beautiful original wooden frame with key.
This work was exhibited at the Galerie Drouant (Paris) from March 17 to April 9, 1983 as part of the exhibition: Menguy, les Musiciennes. The canvas comes from Sennelier, and bears the stamp of this manufacturer and the date 1982.

A dreamlike and vibrant atmosphere emerges from this painting. Menguy uses, as usual, a bold colour palette, with shades of bright red and orange, which give his musician an almost incandescent appearance. The musical score that runs through the painting, where the notes mingle like a necklace around the young girl's neck, seems to pulse to the rhythm of a silent melody. The contrast between the pink trumpet and the dark dress highlights the instrument, both the central symbol of the work and the theme of the 1983 exhibition.

Frédéric Menguy, Jeune fille au cornet
France  • 1927

Presentation

Frédéric Menguy was born in Paris on January 28, 1927. He is one of the greatest French artists today. His works, recognizable at first glance, have enchanted and amazed us for many years. Frédéric Menguy, the creator of a magical and poetic circus where musical clowns charm the flying and playful horses, takes us into a wonderful world of dreams and childhood. “I paint what I would like to see and not what I see,” he says. With the bright and warm nuances of which he has the secret, Frédéric Menguy leads us in his wake, in pursuit of a world very far from our daily lives where beauty and poetry preside over the destinies of those, men or animals, who inhabit the artist's dreams.
