Lovely Original Watercolor Of Venice Canal - By Michel Tapie (1909-1987) - Signed

The signature is found underneath the matting but it is there (see pic). Very nice watercolor by Michel Tapie. Possibly this is from part of a series that he composed in Venice. Most of his other works have sold in Europ. His work is described as abstract expressionism.
From Wikipedia, "He was an early and influential theorist and practitioner of "tachisme", a French style of abstract painting popular in the 1940s and 1950s which is regarded as a European version of abstract expressionism.[1] Tapié was a founder member of the Compagnie de l'Art Brut with Dubuffet and Breton In 1948, as well he managed the Foyer De l'Art Brut at the Galerie René Drouin. Tapié was from an aristocratic French family and was a second cousin once removed of the painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec." He was very influential in the avant-garde art movement.
