Poultry (La volaille) 1935

"Poultry (La Volaille)" is a 1935 drawing by French artist André Dunoyer de Segonzac. It is a striking example of his signature style, characterized by swift, expressive lines that capture the essence of the subject. The work depicts a series of hanging birds, their forms rendered in a series of delicate, almost hesitant strokes, creating a sense of both life and stillness. The drawing’s spare composition and suggestive lines, combined with the subject matter, evoke a sense of quiet contemplation and the passage of time. The work exemplifies Segonzac's mastery of line and his ability to express both the fragility and the enduring power of nature.
