François Aubrun #263, mid century French Abstract1966
1966
About the Item
An incredible presence and painted thickly, this is an early work by French Abstractionist Francois Aubrun. It is framed in a white contemporary float frame recently made. #263 is thickly painted with the energy and bravura of youth. Executed near the start of his sixty year residency in a studio he installed in the church of Saint-Joseph at Le Tholonet, next door to Cézanne's former studio overlooking Mont Sainte-Victoire in the south of France. From there he expressed the inexpressible: the transparency of the morning mist “when in the morning it is more heavy than the sky above, and throughout the day all turns around until it is the sky that is heavier.” His art is profoundly Naturalist as he searched the ever-changing sky for its “liquidity”— by which he meant “the feminine, the river, the Seine, the mists on Mont Sainte-Victoire…” in order to evoke all its light, and all its silence.
