Signed in grey on bottom right part undistinctly. Provenance : Art Gallery Vincent Lécuyer in Paris. Franco-British style of post-impressionism adopted during her studies in Paris & London. While living in Europe in 1933-39, Rehfisch had been particularly impressed by Braque “ With his (Braque) feeling of design, his reality. Reality has always appealed to me; I’ve Always hated frills and that sort of thing in life and painting too, I think.” “I’m very delighted to see the way that some of my old students are simplifying their work, getting away from details and frills and so on and getting down to colour and design, just the way Braque did..” (in 1975) In 1933 Alison Rehfisch left for Europe. Believing that an artist should not be influenced, but stimulated, by other artists, Rehfisch drew onBraque for his design and simplified reality. She hated 'frills . . . in life and painting, too'. In 1934 she showed with the Société Nationale des Beaux Arts in Paris.
