Monumental Modern Original Abstract Painting by Alain Le Yaouanc, 1960s
-
Description
Alain Le Yaouanc (1931-2012) was a French painter and printmaker associated with the abstraction movement of the mid-twentieth century. He was known for his use of vibrant colors and geometric shapes, and his works often incorporated elements of the natural world.
Le Yaouanc studied at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he was influenced by the work of artists such as Nicolas de Staël and Pierre Soulages. He began exhibiting his paintings in the 1950s, and his work was included in major group shows in France and abroad.
In the 1960s, Le Yaouanc began experimenting with printmaking, and he became a master of the medium. He created a large number of prints, often using techniques such as lithography and etching to produce works that echoed the themes and styles of his paintings.
Throughout his career, Le Yaouanc remained committed to abstraction and to exploring the possibilities of color and form. His work has been shown in many major exhibitions, including retrospectives at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris and the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rennes.
This painting is a wonderful example of his work, as it features what he's best known for-- vibrant colors, and geometric shapes. This monumentally large piece has wonderful age and patina and while a half a century old, still is very current and would look incredible in any modern, mid century modern, or even post modern home. As photographed with a Paul Evans Argente Cube table and a Knoll BRNO Chair by Mies Van der Rohe. Such a striking piece! - More Information
