It is the buyer's responsibility to ascertain and pay all taxes due.Benanteur's paintings have formal and sensitve beauty, with a strong visual impact, being neither figurative, insofar as the image could replace a photographic object, nor abstract, because they are always rooted within the elements of a deeply observed and felt nature... Lyrical landscapes, in which the imaginary struggle with deeply buried memories. A floating world, close to that of Chinese painting, in which top and bottom are interchangeable within a limitless space. But Benanteur never leaves any empty spaces, and his surface is worked over with coloured inflections, recalling earth's transparencies, or water's motions, or else that of scudding clouds, leading to liquid and amoshperhic fusionMarc Herisse, translated by Ann Cremin Prologue in Claude Lemand (ed.), Benanteur, Vol. 1: Paintings, Paris, 2002, p.9.
