Description from the seller
André Lanskoy (Moscow, Russia, 1902 – Paris, France, 1976)
André Lanskoy was a Franco-Russian painter and printmaker, a major figure of lyrical abstraction and the New School of Paris. Born in Moscow in 1902, he settled in France in the 1920s and moved among the great artists of his time. Initially influenced by figurative painting, he gradually evolved toward free abstraction, characterized by colored forms, spontaneous signs, and great gestural richness.
He was particularly close to Nicolas de Staël and in dialogue with the research of the Paris avant-garde, Lanskoy develops a personal language where color becomes the principal means of expression. His work includes paintings, collages, tapestries, and prints, today sought after by collectors.
This lithograph titled Journal d’un fou, created after his illustration work for Nicolas Gogol's text, testifies to his poetic and abstract universe. Edition 78/100, original lithograph on paper, signed and numbered at the bottom.
Dimensions: 95 × 65.5 cm.
