	Andre Dunoyer de Segonzac: A leading French painter and etcher of the twentieth century, Andre Dunoyer de Segonzac studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris (1901 - 1906), under J. P. Laurens and Charles Guerin. His first illustrations were published in 1910. Dunoyer de Segonzac's first etching was made in 1919, after brief lessons from J. E. Laboureur. A master of both portrait and landscape etching, Dunoyer de Segonzac's art became tremendously influential for a generation of artists searching for an alternative to abstraction. Called both a 'neo-Realist' and a 'neo-Classicist', Andre Dunoyer de Segonzac etched directly from nature and created both a brilliant and spontaneous imagery where an economy of line was crucial. His mastery is clearly apparent in Figure Study.
	As well as creating a number of fine, individual etchings, Dunoyer de Segonzac also illustrated a number of masterful fine art books with his etchings such as, Les Croix de Bois (1921), La Treille Muscate (1932), Les Georgiques (1944) and Andre Gide's, Thesee (1947). During his career he created an oeuvre of over 900 original etchings and drypoints.
	Andre Dunoyer de Segonzac was a full member of the Societe des Peintres-Graveurs Francais, the Royal Academy, London, and the Academie Royale, Brussels. Today his etched art is included in many major galleries throughout the world, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Art Institute of Chicago.
	In all probability this very small edition etching was created by Andre Dunoyer de Segonzac between 1925 and 1930. The Paris publisher, Marcel Guiot, was active at this time and commissioned a number of prints from both Dunoyer de Segonzac and Pablo Picasso. This important etching bears the blindstamp of Guiot in the lower right corner of the margins.
Note:	"The number of people who flatter themselves that they have invented or discovered something in art is just about the same as the number of fools. A strange coincidence." * ---Andre Dunoyer de Segonzac
