Description from the seller
This colorful lithograph shows an exuberant still life in which recognizable flowers and leaves blend with strongly stylized, almost abstract forms. 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 shades 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: 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, draftsman and printmaker. She was born in Neuilly-sur-Seine near Paris, initially studied philosophy and law, but ultimately chose art entirely. Her first exhibition took place in 1943. Gilot is regarded as part of the postwar School of Paris and developed a personal style in which figurative representations merge with simplified and abstract forms and a pronounced use of color. She worked not only with painting, but also mastered graphic techniques such as lithography and aquatint. The Metropolitan Museum of Art owns, for example, 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 extensive artistic career continued to develop many decades after their separation.
