Henri Bruel’s artworks cover a wide range of captivating subjects, providing a panoramic window into the heart and soul of France. Teatime and lacemaking scenes of serene silence and plumb-line purity are contrasted with whimsical characters appearing as fiery jugglers, proud wrestlers and prancing sea lions. His artwork, “Our Donkey Cadichon,” offers us a heartwarming recollection of the family donkey, and the simple village in which Bruel spent many of his formative years.
