Description from the seller
Pierre de Berroeta (1914–2004) – Horseman Figure – Original signed gouache
Description
Original signed gouache by Pierre de Berroeta (1914–2004), Franco-Argentine artist recognized for his pictorial work and for his significant activity as a painter-cartoonist in the tapestry field.
This composition depicts a rider and his horse in the heart of stylized vegetation, in a particularly rich and luminous palette dominated by blues, greens, yellows, reds and blacks.
The work testifies to the very personal figurative language developed by Berroeta: simplified and geometric forms, assertive outlines, flat areas of color and a construction close to cubism, characteristic of his figurative production.
The subject and construction of this gouache are especially interesting in light of Berroeta's work for tapestry. The artist produced numerous cartoons and compositions intended to be transposed into tapestries by different French workshops, notably in Aubusson.
This work could thus correspond to a study or preparatory composition related to his cartoonist work, although no specific tapestry created from this gouache has been identified to date. This hypothesis is therefore presented with caution.
