Christophe Stora
Abstract Yellow and Orange Toned Figurative Grid of Nude Bodies Painting

20th Century

About the Item

Yellow toned abstract figurative painting by French artist Christophe Stora depicting human bodies in a grid and in several postures and motions. This work is part of Stora's painting series titled "les intrigants" and is heavily inspired by Eadward Muybridge's Human Figure in Motions photographic series. Signed "Stora" by artist at the bottom right. Framed in a natural wood frame. Dimensions Without Frame: H 31.5 in. x W 31.5 in. Artist Biography: A former student of the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, he has devoted himself to painting for more than 20 years. For 17 years, he has been running a private workshop in the Paris region for children and adults and organizing annual exhibitions of the workshop's works, participation in numerous competitions and Underground movements such as Mail-Art. The human body is the central element in Stora's paintings. It “turns around,” since its beginnings, in the form of self-portraits, then of the whole body. His body of work is inspired by Muybridge's Human Figure in Motions photographic series. By drawing these bodies in different postures, the “photographic” aspect fades, giving way to writing in which the bodies create an alphabet. These bodies become accomplices and participate in turn or together in the development of mythologies. All combinations are possible and demonstrate free transpositions to create a subtle and rare alchemy imprinted with doubts, chances, surprises, permanent questioning, eternal beginnings.

    By Mortimer Borne
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Mortimer Borne, Printmaker, painter, sculptor, and educator was born in Rypin, Poland in 1902 and emigrated to the US in 1916. He studied at the National Academy of Design, The Art Students League, The Beaux-Arts Institute of Design, and with Charles Webster Hawthorne, founder of the Cape Cod School of Art in Provincetown. Painted in a thick impasto style similar in technique to Samuel Rothbort and David Burliuk. Borne himself taught at The New School for Social Research in New York City from 1945-1967. From the 1920s through the 40s he was a prolific producer of New York City cityscapes and genre scenes. In later decades, he adopted a more modernist style apparently influenced by Picasso, producing color drypoints of abstracted figures. His works were widely exhibited in museums in the U.S. and abroad from 1931 and later, including the Art Institute of Chicago, the American Institute of Graphic Arts, Museum of Modern Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Corcoran Gallery of Art, New York Public Library, Carnegie Institute, and Royal Society of Painters, Etchers and Engravers in London. He taught at The New School for Social Research in New York City from 1945-1967, and at the Tappan Zee...
