About the Item

French artist Etienne Poirier (1919-2002) designed this stunning modernist drawing. This work is a charcoal-on-paper composition depicting a proud rooster. This composition is minimalist, as only a few lines create the design. The minimalist interpretation has lots of intensity and presence. The Atelier stamp is on the bottom right corner. A contemporary frame with white liner and acrylic glass protection finished the piece. Please also check our storefront for more drawings from this artist.
