Françoise Gilot, The red bouquet, a hand-signed lithography from a limited edition of 22/100, framed and in good condition, depicting a vivid still life in France from 1980–1990.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This colorful lithograph shows an exuberant still life in which recognizable flowers and leaves merge with strongly stylized, almost abstract shapes. The bouquet stands in a red-orange vase and is surrounded by a large oval shape, giving the composition a monumental and decorative character. Bright hues of yellow, red, green and blue, bold dark outlines, and various graphic textures create a lively and expressive whole. The artist plays with the boundary between figuration and abstraction: the flowers are still recognizable, but are at the same time built up from rhythmic lines, color fields and patterns.
Françoise Gilot (1921–2023) was a French artist who, over a career of about eight decades, worked as a painter, draughtsman and printmaker. She was born in Neuilly-sur-Seine near Paris, initially studied philosophy and law, but ultimately chose art completely. Her first exhibition took place in 1943. Gilot is regarded as part of the postwar Paris School and developed her own style in which figurative subjects combine with simplified and abstract forms and a pronounced use of color. She did not only work with painting, but also mastered graphic techniques such as lithography and aquatint. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, for example, owns color lithographs of hers from the sixties. Gilot is also known for her relationship with Pablo Picasso, with whom she had two children, Claude and Paloma, but her own substantial career as an artist continued to develop for many decades after their separation.
