A vivid vintage 1960s 70s handmade copper enamel abstract modernist artwork by Pierrette Leclair of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Small, but mighty design in bold colors that catch the eye, and the irregular shape adds to the charm in my opinion! The enamel is thick in some areas similar to impasto painting! Pierrette Leclair was born in Montreal and studied classical music in her youth, but gave it up when she discovered artistic enameling in 1953. Self-taught, she later added some courses with specific artists to increase her skills in enameling. She participated in many exhibitions, and won many prizes over the course of her long career. Her work has been gifted to many world leaders and celebrities by the city of Montreal, and the province of Quebec as well including the Queen Mother of the UK, and the wife of Charles de Gaulle, and the first three astronauts to land on the moon! This is an exceptional example of her artistic work, and in such great shape! Measures just under 5-7/8" by 5-5/8" by just under 1" high at rim. Signed at back as shown, "Pierrette Leclair fait main Que.". Excellent vintage condition.
