Extra info: Original signed work from the 1960s, a period during which Alechinsky gained international recognition and further developed his ink and wash technique during his time in Paris and the Oise. The medium is characteristic of his oeuvre: the ink produces sharp, expressive lines, while the wash adds tones, atmosphere, and often more "floating" forms. As described:
"Indian ink is an essential part of Pierre Alechinsky's graphic vocabulary... Its high fluidity attracted Pierre Alechinsky, who made it dance on the surface of the paper with his paintbrush, pen, or his stick." (Fine Arts Museum Brussels)
The work displays the artist's spontaneous and lively lines, in an intimate format that emphasizes the direct experience of his hand. We present this unique piece on a dark oak background and frame.
