The piece
A striking and boldly colorful cubist abstract painting executed in the manner of Jacques Villon, signed and dated lower right "M. Jardet." This dynamic work is housed in an elegant modern frame and exemplifies the energy and experimentation of mid-20th Century European avant-garde art.

Little is known about the artist Marc Jardet, but archival notes suggest he studied at the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and later resided near Cannes, France. His works, though rare, display a refined understanding of cubist composition, vibrant palette, and inventive structure—hallmarks of a truly gifted painter working within the modernist tradition.

Framed Dimensions: 28 3/4 in. W x 1 5/8 in. D x 24 3/4 in. H

A compelling piece for collectors of mid-century modern or European abstract art. This Cubist Abstract Painting will enhance any modern or contemporary setting.

This piece is offered in the manner of Jacques Villon. What follows is about the maker whose work it follows, not a statement that it left their hand.

Jacques Villon, born Gaston Duchamp, was a French Cubist painter and printmaker, and the elder brother of sculptor Raymond Duchamp-Villon and painter Marcel Duchamp. He moved to Paris in 1894 to study law but turned to art, illustrating for newspapers before beginning to study painting in 1904.

In 1912 he helped form the Section d'Or group of Cubist-influenced artists, developing a mature style combining flat, geometric Cubist forms with luminous color. He received the Carnegie Prize in 1950, was made Commandeur of the Legion of Honor in 1954, and won the Grand Prix at the Venice Biennale in 1956.
