TABLE "COMPOSITION TO 2 PEOPLE" 1960 OF Jacques NESTLE (1907-1991) Mixed technique on paper. Frame in natural oak. Monogrammed "J.N.". Circa 1960 H: 65 x W: 50 cm Jacques Nestlé was born in 1907 in Saarbrücken, in 1925 he moved to Berlin where he was influenced by the Bauhaus school and the avant-garde artists of the time such as Kandinsky and Paul Klee. In 1933, he left for France and joined many artists in Paris, where the revolution in modern art had already been underway since the mid-19th century. In Paris, Henri Matisse noticed his works, encouraged him and inspired him for a long time. Subsequently, the art dealer and collector, Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler, wanted to promote it as he did with Picasso, Braque, Derain or Gris. Jacques Nestlé, who said of him that he is "neither a painter nor an artist, simply a man who paints", did not follow up on Kahnweiler's proposal. Jacques Nestlé is the painter of colours and shapes, in that he follows the same artistic line as some of his contemporaries such as Kandinsky, Mondrian or Miró. Her nudes, sometimes stylized to the extreme, where the feminine forms are made up of coloured lines and contours, recall the curves of Matisse's nudes or the anatomical composition of Picasso's cubist nudes.
