⊕ HUGH CRONYN (BRITISH 1905-1996)
CAUFOUR, BEFORE RESTORATION
signed and dated HUGH CRONYN '64 lower right
gouche and pastel over pencil
41.5 x 53cm; 16 1/2 x 21in
44.4 x 56cm; 17 1/2 x 22in (framed)
The house at Caufour had not been lived in for many years but it did have its own source of water, which made restoration viable. Later came the creation of the studio by lowering the tiled roof of the immense stone barn without dismantling it – a great feat by local carpenters.
