Bergen (1954) - Composition typographique et papiers anciens

We present you with this original and mixed-media collage on panel (or canvas), an abstract composition incorporating old papers, stamps, envelopes and typographic elements signed by the artist Bergen at the bottom right.

The work consists of a rhythmic juxtaposition of old documents (Rambouillet envelope, stamp of the Mexican Republic, receipts from 1919) and typographic prints playing with the slogan “serious as the PLEASURE.” The artist deftly combines material, the memory of archival papers, and contemporary graphics on a textured cream-white background.
