Georges MATHIEU (1921 - 2012)
GIF, 1965
Oil on canvas, signed and dated lower right, titled on reverse
72.5 x 46 cm
28 35/64 x 18 7/64 in.
Preserving his iconic line, this work by the artist Georges Mathieu is in line with his work. Cradled by the softness of a beige background, the artist's incisive black line etches the canvas with its spontaneity. Finding his balance between very fine and long brushstrokes and others, thicker and shorter, he plays with the transparency of his black paint on this immaculate beige background. Covered by large circular movements, the canvas adopts this hue which is reminiscent of the paper used in the art of calligraphy. In his quest for balance and spontaneity, Georges Mathieu inscribes with a broad brush, two flat areas of blue and red, balancing the rest of the composition.
