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

Saúl Yurkievich (1931–2005) — Figure with a Smile

Drawing on paper.
Dimensions: 20 × 13.5 cm.
Name stamp “SAUL YURKIEVICH” in green ink at lower right.

A slender, elongated figure occupies the left side of the sheet, leaving ample space for the blank paper. A few fine lines sketch the body, while the face is rendered in detail: asymmetrical eyes, an angular nose, and a faintly smiling mouth.

The economy of line gives the figure a presence that is both fragile and playful. The broken contours and simplified forms contribute to the composition’s spontaneity.

Saúl Yurkievich (1931–2005) — Personnage au sourire

Dessin sur papier.
Dimensions : 20 × 13,5 cm.
Cachet nominatif « SAUL YURKIEVICH » à l’encre verte en bas à droite.

Un personnage à la silhouette longiligne occupe la partie gauche de la feuille, laissant une large place au papier vierge. Quelques lignes fines esquissent le corps, tandis que le visage concentre les détails : yeux dissymétriques, nez anguleux et bouche légèrement souriante.

L’économie du trait donne à cette figure une présence à la fois fragile et malicieuse. Les interruptions du contour et la simplification des formes participent à la spontanéité de la composition.
