The painting is built up with vigorous palette-knife work, creating a richly textured surface, while the birds’ plumage unfolds in sweeping curves of coral red, orange, cream, deep blue and black against a cooler turquoise ground. The artist plays particularly well with movement: the long tail feathers curl and spiral through the lower half of the painting, while the upright heads and vivid red combs bring a strong vertical counterpoint. The reverse bears the title and date 1964, together with a Paris address, adding a useful element of provenance. It is presented in a simple giltwood frame with light age-related wear. The painted surface shows a few tiny scattered losses near the edges. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe painting has a particularly lively decorative presence, driven by its swirling sense of movement and a rich palette of warm oranges set against cooler turquoise and blue tones.  The rooster subject brings both a farmyard charm and a distinctly French note, long associated with the national emblem. It would bring color, character and energy to a kitchen, hung above a wooden buffet or anchoring a dining nook. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age.\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 33\" high x 25¼\" wide x 1¼\" thick  \u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 84cm high x 64cm wide x 3cm thick \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54802222219602,"sku":"25902","price":1495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC08051_818c840d-d8ec-4b44-814f-eb26fb6f34c2.jpg?v=1790083165","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/lively-1964-palette-knife-oil-on-panel-of-two-roosters-33-x-251-4","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
