AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An impressive, large-format colour print by César Baldaccini, one of the leading figures of the French Nouveau Réalisme movement, created in connection with his celebrated Hommage à Morandi series.
The composition presents four stylised coffee pots in vibrant red, blue, white and yellow against a deep black background, enriched with expressive colour splashes. The work reflects César's exploration of everyday objects and his fascination with compression, transforming familiar domestic forms into a striking contemporary still life.
The Hommage à Morandi series pays tribute to the Italian painter Giorgio Morandi (1890–1964), renowned for his contemplative still-life compositions. César reinterpreted this tradition through his characteristic industrial vocabulary and vivid colours.
