About the Item
The 1937 gouache by Boris Lacroix, titled Composition Bleu Maron, stands as a notable example of 20th-century modernist art. Boris Lacroix (1902-1979), a French painter and illustrator, gained recognition for his abstract and semi-figurative works, often exploring color and form in innovative ways. His style blends elements of abstraction and realism, with a keen focus on color theory and the emotional power of visual art.
Lacroix’s work was deeply influenced by the modernist movements of the early 20th century, including Cubism, Futurism, and Fauvism. In Composition Bleu Maron, Lacroix reflects these influences through his exploration of dynamic color combinations and the balance between contrasting tones. His use of gouache, an opaque watercolor medium, showcases his skill in creating rich, textured surfaces that engage the viewer’s eye through vibrant and thoughtful color choices.
This gouache piece is an example of Lacroix’s contribution to the broader modernist movement, as he sought to capture the complexities of human experience and emotion through abstract forms. Lacroix’s art emphasizes rhythm, energy, and harmony, engaging with the visual language of abstraction in a way that was both innovative and expressive.
Lacroix was not only an artist but also a graphic designer, and his work in illustration also left a lasting impact on the art world. Despite his broader achievements, his abstract paintings like Composition Bleu Maron are significant for understanding his personal artistic evolution and the progression of modernist art in France during the early 20th century.
Today, Composition Bleu Maron remains an important work in the history of modernism, demonstrating Boris Lacroix's mastery of color and form. His ability to convey emotion and meaning through abstract compositions continues to influence artists and collectors alike.

Lithographie Originale de Jean Lurçat des années 50 - Le Colibri
By Jean Lurçat
Located in PARIS, FR
Belle lithographie de Jean Lurçat.
Créateur infatigable, Lurçat est un artiste aux multiples facettes : peintre, poète, illustrateur, il se passionne pour les techniques de la céramique et de la tapisserie dont il est le plus illustre représentant du XXe siècle.
Engagé dans son époque, et passionnément curieux du monde, Jean Lurçat est né dans les Vosges à Bruyères, où Lucien, receveur des postes, et Charlotte engendrent une descendance de créateurs : Jean le peintre et André l’architecte.
Jean Lurçat se forme dans l’atelier de Victor Prouvé, chef de file de l’École de Nancy, puis vient s’immerger dans l’effervescence artistique et intellectuelle de Paris, il a alors vingt ans. Il complète sa formation en marge des circuits officiels, fonde avec des amis la revue Les feuilles de mai, et décide alors d’entamer une carrière de peintre fresquiste, mais le projet tourne court à cause de la guerre. Jean Lurçat, engagé volontaire, subit le sort terrible des fantassins ballottés dans la tourmente : cela le marquera à vie.
Un Lurçat, impatient et ne tenant pas en place, s’exprime durant la décennie des années vingt. Il se fait connaître par sa peinture, en France et aux Etats-Unis. Peintre de renommée internationale, il figura parmi les artistes les plus significatifs de son temps, tout en restant en marge des courants esthétiques contemporains. Il collabore avec Pierre Chareau, architecte-décorateur connu par l’intermédiaire de ses amis Jean et Annie Dalsace, les commanditaires de l’iconique maison de verre rue Saint-Guillaume. Il produit aussi de grands canevas brodés par son épouse et donne des projets de tapis.
La collectionneuse Marie Cuttoli fait tisser à Aubusson des tapisseries d’après des œuvres de Lurçat et des autres artistes de sa collection, et cette expérience ouvre la voie de la renaissance de la tapisserie par son ambition esthétique. Parallèlement, aux Manufactures nationales, un salon des Illusions d’Icare est tissé ; destiné à l’ambassade de France en URSS, il ne sera jamais mis en place à cause de la guerre.
Lurçat, à cette époque, abandonne la peinture de chevalet. L’étape décisive est franchie lorsqu’il s’approprie la technique de la tapisserie de lisse et s’implique dans la technique du langage de la laine. L’Apocalypse d’Angers qu’il découvre en 1938 confirme son intuition. Il perçoit le potentiel immense et l’originalité de cet art. Grosseur du point, gamme limitée et carton chiffré, il n’aura de cesse de prôner les avantages d’une méthode qui revient aux fondamentaux de la technique du Moyen âge, période qu’il estime celle des plus grands chefs...
