In the style of “Big Eyes,” Etienne Roth was a contemporary artist born in Budapest, Hungary. He went to Paris to study art at the Academy of Fine Arts when he was twenty. Always a dreamer with an inborn shyness, this gentle man developed a deep affinity for the children and young people he saw around him. He began painting the gypsy children in Paris, the teenagers in the neighborhood shops and streets. Roth always depicted them with rather sad and inquiring eyes and with a gentle reticence in their attitude. His paintings are in private collections throughout the world.
Roth was one of Donald Bonnist’s favorite artists.
These are sold as a pair for $400.
