A small hillside town surrounded by palms trees with daily market activity. Painted in muted tones and soft brushstrokes as a Douglas DC-4 soars overhead.
After studying with Devambez and Charles Guérin at the Academie des Beaux-Arts in Paris from 1933-37, Even went on to become a painter whose landscapes collected prizes at one Salon exhibition after another. The Havas agency noticed his work and commissioned him to create a series of paintings to be used on posters for their Air France account.
