Born in 1937, this visionary artist left an indelible mark on various mediums, showcasing his talent and passion for art. One cannot help but be captivated by Durand's exquisite creations.

The attention to detail is evident in every stroke and curve, reflecting Durand's dedication to his craft. Among his notable works is a vinegar jug from around 1939. Its unique design showcases both functionality and beauty, making it a true work of art.

Whether it be the crib quilt or one adorned with printed quilted patches from between 1935-1942, they serve as testaments to his ability to blend colors harmoniously while creating visually stunning compositions.
