About the Item

Stunning, rare original project drawings, hand-painted with colored pencil on translucent tracing paper by a French artist, circa the 1960s. The two paintings feature a geometric study of little robots in color variations. There is no visible artist signature. These two unique drawings were purchased in France in 2005 in auctions in an important portfolio of sketches, all on tracing paper, with black pencils, and some with colored pencils. The portfolio was dated from 1963 to 1968. These surreal designs use a repetitive geometric shape with gradient colors that characterize a subtle play of shapes and tones. The goal of this study's aesthetic investigation with color alternation is to attain the ideal balance between form and color to create joy. The palette is bright, the geometry dominates, and the colors are juxtaposed to underline the rigor. The artwork is framed in a modern black wood frame with gray and black matte and glass protection. Dimensions: Overall: 12.82 in wide (32.5 cm) x 17.75 in high (45 cm). The opening view is 6.69 in wide (17 cm) x 4.94 in high (12.5 cm).
