Joel FROMENT (1938-2023)
Untitled, 1986
Pastel on paper
Signed et dated “86.12” lower right
50 x 50 cm
without frame
Joël Froment attended the Lycée d'Art de Sèvres before entering the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris in 1962. There, he obtained a higher diploma in plastic arts. In 1968, he became the first abstract painter to win the Premier Grand Prix de Rome, and as such was a resident at the Villa Médicis until 1972, under the direction of Balthus. Back in France, he exhibited at the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles and took part in the international MADI movement, which advocated an art that was free of shackles, playful and inventive.
After a period of lyrical abstraction, weary of what he saw as repetitive writing, Joël Froment turned to minimalist geometric abstraction. Curves, straight lines and tangents come together under the precision of his tools. Combined with the symbolism and internal movement of each color, these forms offer a multitude of combinations. Joël Froment's plastic language, based on the relationship between geometric shapes and the energetic aspect of colors, brings him closer to concrete art as defined by Theo van Doesburg: "concrete, not abstract painting, because nothing is more concrete, more real than a line, a color, a surface".
The artist's work, the result of successive experiments, leads to the application of the principles of two-dimensional painting to three-dimensional relief. The abandonment of the traditional support is accompanied by reflections on space. Joël Forment moved from large painted canvases to the conception of plastic objects, exploring three-dimensional form and inventing the vocabulary for a particularly original sculptural work.
This work on paper illustrates the artist's reflections on the construction of reliefs. It is a fine example of the links between his sculptural and two-dimensional work.

Joel Shapiro, Untitled, abstract geometric limited edition etching, 1992
By Joel Shapiro
Located in New York, NY
Joel Shapiro's post-minimalist work often references the human body, in a variety of poses, represented by geometric forms. In Untitled, 1992, a blue square is seated firmly atop a black rectangle, which has landed in a seeming haphazard manner within the view frame. The forms have light, sketchy lines around them, reminiscent of Futurist dynamism markings or perhaps a draftsman's study of dimensions. In the upper right, a series of these sketchy markings seem situated somewhere between motion and form. Shapiro has assembled mechanism, geometry, balance, fluid, solid and motion into this dynamic etching, which was produced by Pace Prints...

"Untitled #3" - Large Scale Pastel Geometric Color Field Abstract
By Renee Harwin
Located in Soquel, CA
Large-scale abstract composition in pastel with bold geometric color-fields in in red, navy blue, green, with yellow and orange accents by Renee Harwin (Austrian, b. 1924).

Image size: 29.75"H x 44"W
As a young Viennese woman, Renee Harwin found her artistic development interrupted by Hitler's arrival to her city. Soon after, Renee and her family left and moved to the United States. Harwin says that while "one can drawn his or her own conclusions from my work, I believe that the tremendous impact of change from Nazism to free America has left deep impressions on me that are played out on these canvases."
Her work combines the influence of Midwest painters such as Clyfford Still and San Francisco Art Institute instructor Jack...
