Yvaral (Jean-Pierre Vasarely)Structure Cubique B1973
1973
About the Item
A three dimensional quadratic figure composed of staggered cubes floats amidst a sea of two dimensional squares. In this stunning original acrylic painting, Yvaral plays with the purple color spectrum. Dark purple, nearly black, squares in all four corners of this square composition gradually fade to lighter shades of lilac towards the center. Through his use of light and shadow and his very careful study of color gradation and geometric form, Yvaral creates the illusion that this central, three dimensional figure drifts across the canvas from left to right and continues out forwards toward the viewer, as if the viewer could almost touch its seemingly protrusive form. It appears as a series of never-ending stairwells reaching out in all directions, from which the climber can never escape.
Created in 1973, this original acrylic on canvas is hand signed by Yvaral (1934 - 2002) in black ink on the front lower center. Hand written, signed, and dated by the artist on the verso: "YVARAL "Structure Cubique B" 1973 [signature] No. 1439."

- Untitled, 1964By Alexander CalderLocated in Palo Alto, CARenowned for his mobiles, Alexander Calder applies the same principles of movement found in his sculptural works in this gouache work titled Untitled, 1964. Vertical yellow stripes cover the background, over which crisscrossed lines of red are punctuated with dripping blue dots. The layers of color bleed into each other, drawing attention to the water-based medium of the pigments. Gouache paint consists of opaque pigments ground in water and a thickener, which yields an especially rich color for a water-based paint. Thin abstracted lines and dots in black fill the lower half of the composition with the same swaying movement of grass blades in the wind. The swirl in the lower right corner of the composition is a signature formal motif in both Calder’s three-dimensional and two-dimensional works. Through a masterful handling of gouache, Alexander Calder Untitled...Category
