AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

ANDRÉ RAFFRAY, one of the most important hyperrealist artists of his generation, the Centre Pompidou made the opening with his works.
"The Green Light" is part of a series of three paintings with a strong philosophical touch surrounded by dark humor. One of these paintings has already been sold on Catawiki (THE OPPOSITE SENSES).
Green Light carries the same imprint, both politically, as 1971 was in the midst of the cultural revolution and the Iron Curtain fell over Europe, and burlesquely, through its paradoxical vision of a green light that stops against an implacable wall.
The canvas is well preserved.
DIMENSIONS: 130x162cm.
Provenance: Artist's studio
