About the Item

Title: Mid Century French Geometric Abstract in Red and Violet Gouache on Paper by Serge Guerin (b. 1916), French signed and dated lower right “Serge Guerin 70” Ink and gouache on paper, unframed Size: 25.5 (height) x 19.75 (width) inches Provenance: private collection, Paris, France Condition: overall good and sound; minor age toning to lower edge and light handling marks consistent with age; colours remain vivid Description: A dynamic and vividly coloured geometric abstraction by French modernist Serge Guerin, signed and dated 1970. This composition exemplifies Guerin’s mastery of line, rhythm and chromatic balance, using intersecting angular forms to create a sense of motion and depth. Executed in gouache and ink on warm-toned paper, the artwork features a striking palette of crimson, violet, rose, and coral tones — a hallmark of Guerin’s refined exploration of colour contrast during this period. The sharp, spiked geometry and rhythmic intersections evoke mid-century modern design, Constructivist architecture, and the kinetic energy of post-war European abstraction. Guerin’s use of transparent layering and overlapping planes creates a sophisticated optical effect, while the structured yet fluid composition reflects his fascination with both order and spontaneity. The piece would appeal to collectors drawn to mid-century French abstraction, Op Art, and geometric modernism, particularly those seeking bold yet balanced works for contemporary interiors. Keywords for collectors and interiors: mid century French abstract, geometric gouache, modernist ink drawing, red and violet composition, Constructivist design, Op Art influence, Ecole de Paris abstraction.
