AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vivien — Abstract Composition
Mixed media, collage and watercolor on paper. France. Dating: 1963. Period: 1960–1969.
Framed dimensions: 21 cm in height × 27 cm in width.
Signed Vivien and dated 63.
Overlaid elements compose a horizontal structure in earth tones and greys. The fragments seem to interlock, shift, and overlap, like the remnants of an architecture. The chromatic sobriety brings out the visual relief of the collage and the networks of lines.
The combination of collage and watercolor creates surface differences. The edges, joints and graphic traces are essential elements of the construction.
Signed Vivien and dated 1963, this work combines collage and watercolor in an abstract construction with subtle tonalities. The superimposed fragments evoke a recomposed architecture, rhythmized by the edges and the transparencies. The restrained palette enhances the relations of material and the finesse of the graphic organization.
Condition: Good overall.
Sold without the frame.
