"The Communicant" is a work that evokes a young girl during her first communion, a moment filled with spirituality and introspection.
The whiteness of her communion dress underlines this moment of grace and innocence in comparison to the routine of Parisian life.
Auguste Jean Gaudin (1914-1992) was a French painter and engraver, a student at the École des Beaux-Arts in Rennes, marked by the war in which he was a prisoner.
His work combines attention to detail and a poetic atmosphere, often inspired by everyday life and memory.
Winner of the Blumenthal Prize, he left numerous works in French public collections.
Gaudin mastered engraving, favoring contained emotion and sobriety, making each of his etchings a delicate and sensitive testimony.
