Description
Grande Vallee, Quebec. Late 20th century. Yvon Cote carvings are typically recognized by their very high gloss, an effect he often achieved with several coats of clear nail polish over crayon or pencil crayon. This is a relatively rare example of a painted work, created in the 1960s before he began this technique. This is a graceful rendering of a squawking seagull perched on a rock with wings raised. Painted white, grey, orange, black and red. Label marked "Souvenir Grand Vallee Yvon Cote" on front of base.
