Jaqueline De Jong 1939 - 2024 L'heure pile. 1965. Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower left. Again signed, dated, and titled on the reverse of the canvas. 95.5 x 194 cm (37.5 x 76.3 in). [KA]. • Jacqueline de Jong depicts the hustle and bustle of modern life in a dynamic, expressive manner with a subtle sense of humor. • The title of the work, “L’heure pile” (roughly “Right on the Hour”), ironically alludes to the time-driven pace of post-war Modernism. • De Jong is considered a defining figure of the European post-war avant-garde. • The artist’s works are included in major museum collections such as the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, and the Moderna Museet in Stockholm.
