ValerianeThe Blue Elephant. Mid-Century Gouache on Handmade Paper.1969
1969
About the Item
Mid-century gouache on handmade paper of a blue elephant in landscape by French artist Valeriane, signed to the bottom left and dated to the bottom right above a star of David.
A charming rendition of a blue elephant in wonderfully rich and playful colours. Striking a jaunty pose with front leg raised and placed against a forest backdrop. Modern in style this painting is reminiscent of American modernism with hints of pop art and the intense colour fields of Andy Warhol.
Typically in the modern style there is a lack of perspective and forms appear to be flatly superimposed, even outlined at times to highlight this effect. In addition the colour palette is intense with primary blue, yellow and green.
A truly enchanting, charming and playful painting with great impact and endless energy.
