Framed artwork

Painted in 1953, Still Life in Orange reflects François Baron-Renouard's transitional period, where figurative structure already blends with the beginnings of his abstract language. The composition is built around warm, colorful masses, articulated into a vibrant and harmonious whole, revealing his keen sense of construction and light.

Documented and exhibited in a Japanese museum, it is a significant work from his early period, particularly sought after by collectors of modern art.
