About the Item
This mixed-media modern abstract collage draws us into a world where each cut newspaper is meticulously hemmed in black, like a frame accentuating its shape and significance. The artist presents us with fragments of thought, encapsulating snippets of a fast-paced, fractured reality. French Words like "Jazz festival," "Débloquer l énergie," Méridiens" emerge, inviting us to ponder their interconnectedness and the artist’s personality.
On the vibrant backdrop of cut pieces, rectilinear shapes resembling the sticks from the MIKADO game emerge, adding a playful and profound dimension to the composition. These lines evoke the dichotomy between structure and spontaneity and the balance of power and consequence, order and chaos, echoing the game's unpredictability.
The bursting of the pieces like a disassembled puzzle could also symbolize the fragmentation of our collective consciousness, reflecting the turmoil and disarray within our minds.
Amidst this chaos, there is a sense of cohesion—a subtle stitching together of disparate elements, like a hem bordering each fragment. The bold and vibrant colors pulse with life, demanding our attention and igniting our imagination.
In this modern abstract collage, we are invited to contemplate the intricate dialogue of form, color, and meaning—an invitation to discover the hidden truths beneath the surface.
In the back of the piece, there is a tag reading ''Atelier Carette''

- Oil, Wood and Straw Mixed Media signed N. Schultz after Marcel DuchampBy (after) Marcel DuchampLocated in Pasadena, CAThis reproduction of Duchamp's "Nude Descending a Staircase" by artist N. Schultz is intriguing due to the depth of the required study and the various stages of refinement that preceded its creation. This is a work using a variety of media. Appearing as a painting, it is almost a sculpture, using pieces of straw and thin wood grouped together and then painted. Studying the painting, beyond the immense amount of research that must have gone into it, reveals another captivating aspect: the subject itself. It is one of Marcel Duchamp's most emblematic works, embodying elements of two crucial movements in the history of art. This was best expressed by Duchamp himself in 1912 when he declared: "I felt more Cubist than Futurist in this abstraction of a nude descending a staircase: the general aspect and the brownish chromatism of the painting are Cubist, even if the treatment of the movement has some Futurist overtones." The nude has always served as a coded representation meeting precise criteria. However, in this context, it is not posed statically but represents almost repeated movements like an open fan, and in relief, thus departing from the classical code of the nude where everything is immediate and requires no keys to interpret the scene. The main silhouette can be seen on the right-hand edge of the figure. And on the left, a multiplication of the same figure descending the staircase. It's extraordinary that the artist has succeeded in imitating this painting, creating a field of observation that rises into a third dimension. Duchamp said of his initial painting...Category
