The Fat Clown 1930

"The Fat Clown" is a 1930 drawing by French artist André Dunoyer de Segonzac, known for his masterful depictions of the human figure. This artwork is a quick sketch, capturing the essence of a larger-than-life character. The gestural lines convey a sense of movement and energy, while the stark contrast between the figure and the background creates a sense of isolation. The exaggerated proportions and bold lines emphasize the subject's comical appearance. The signature adds an intimate touch, further enhancing the sketch's informal charm.
