Title:	Reflects sur la Seine (Reflections on the Seine)
Artist:	Yvon 'Antoine or Yvon Monay' (St. Prex, 1922 - Lausanne, 1954)
Date:	c. 1949 -1950
Medium:	Original Etching
Note:	Yvon Monay or 'Antoine Monay': Despite his very short life, Yvon Monay established a strong reputation throughout France for his fine paintings and etchings of landscapes, still-lifes and figure studies. A nephew of the painter, Pierre Monay, Yvon Monay exhibited his art in Paris, Lausanne and elsewhere from 1944 until the year of his death in 1954. His actual name was Antoine Monay but throughout his career he chose to use the pseudonyms of either 'Yvon'; or 'Yvon Monay'.
	"Reflects sur la Seine" (Reflections on the Seine) is an outstanding example of Yvon Monay's realist art. Etched from an elevated level (perhaps the artist's studio) the scene depicts a grouping of homeless men on the banks of the Seine. Some sleep while others aimlessly sit. To the left a man reads a cast off newspaper. Behind them and in the Seine are the reflections of several famous, historic landmarks of Paris on the opposite bank, thus providing a strong juxtaposition to their condition.
	"Reflects sur la Seine" (Reflections on the Seine) bears the printed number, 'No. 49', in the plate to the lower right. This might indicate that this original etching was the 49th work of art Yvon created, or it may be the year it was made (1949).
