Jean DEYROLLE, peintre

New !

COPENHAGEN.

The small group of abstract artists of the Denise René Gallery introduced by Robert Jacobsen and Richard Mortensen met with a very good reception in Copenhagen.
J. D.,in particular, had several personal exhibitions (see Annex), all very successful: for instance, the 26 paintings exhibited in 1965 at Hybler's were all sold to Scandinavian collectors. Moreover, J. D. participated in the big artistic events after the war, such as " Tokanten ", " Linien ", " Klar Form "... It is quite remarkable that about a quarter of his work belongs to public and private Danish collections (see Annex).

In 1965, Dr Erik Andreasen wrote (see Biblio) :

" ... During Deyrolle's exhibition, the artists as well as the public realized that it was possible, even in a rigid and geometric composition to express the finest poetry, the richest feelings and that possibilities should be countless for the artist who had a gift for abstract art. This is why Deyrolle's exhibition in 1949 became " a milestone " in the Danish artistic life. (...)
