The Art of Saul Yurkievich (1931-2005): The Lyricism of the Line

Saúl Yurkievich (1931–2005) — Untitled, composition of free-form shapes

Ink and wash on paper.
Dimensions: 10.5 × 14 cm.
Green-ink name stamp “SAUL YURKIEVICH” at lower right.

This small-format composition unfolds a series of free-form shapes, linked by a broad horizontal articulation. Deep blacks alternate with translucent gray washes, while a star-like mark punctuates the upper-left area. The silhouettes, poised between abstraction and figurative suggestion, create a lively graphic world open to the imagination.

The contrast between the density of the ink and the untouched areas gives the sheet a rhythm that is at once spontaneous and structured.

Saúl Yurkievich (1931–2005) — Sans titre, composition aux formes libres

Encre et lavis sur papier.
Dimensions : 10,5 × 14 cm.
Cachet nominatif « SAUL YURKIEVICH » à l’encre verte en bas à droite.

Cette composition de petit format déploie un ensemble de formes libres, reliées par une ample articulation horizontale. Les noirs soutenus alternent avec des lavis gris translucides, tandis qu’un signe étoilé ponctue la partie supérieure gauche. Les silhouettes, à la frontière de l’abstraction et de la suggestion figurative, composent un univers graphique animé, ouvert à l’imaginaire.

Le contraste entre la densité de l’encre et les espaces laissés en réserve confère à la feuille un rythme à la fois spontané et construit.
