Catalogue Note

Gustave Surand fit carrière comme peintre animalier, affectionnant particulièrement les fauves. Lors de ses voyages au Maghreb, il put observer les grands fauves. Sensible aux variations de l'atmosphère, il fixa sur la toile l'instant fugitif. Il sut suggérer avec une technique puissante le moment où l'animal s'apprête à bondir.
