About the Item
Acrylic and oil on board in the modern form of a stylised African mask on a stand by French artist Créqule. Signed bottom right. The painting is presented in a plain wood frame, under glass.
Very modern in style with its flat planes and bold colours this painting is a refreshing take on the depiction of an African portrait mask in a strong statement of the portrayal of the facial features. The way the colours are patchworked is reminiscent of the harlequin pattern, a theme which was made very prominent by artists such as Picasso and André l'Hôte. The distinct fields of colour also hark back to the colour field style employed by Nicolas de Staël. All these elements give us the impression of a picture painted in the 1950s ( mid-century ). Modern in style with elements of abstract geometric, this painting has it all.
Créqule is a Provencal artist currently working in Saint Maxime on the Côte d'Azur just across the bay from St. Tropez.
It was during a visit to the Musée d’Ethnographie in Paris that Pablo Picasso became so moved by the shapes, lines, and angles of the African masks that he famously declared that he learned what painting is really about. “It was rather not only a formal matter for Picasso, it was also a spiritual matter for him,” explains the art critic Hans-Peter Wipplinger. The influence of so-called “primitive” art on European modernist artists like Picasso, Constantin Brancusi, Amedeo Modigliani, Paul Klee, Max Ernst can not be overstated. All were inspired by and collected for themselves these wonderful objects.

Large Geometric Abstract. 'Traces No.9 Pour une Archéologie du Présent.'
Located in Cotignac, FR
Large 1970s abstract geometric acrylic and oil on plywood panel signed Rivel and dated 1977 to the bottom left. The painting is titled to the rear of the panel.
Numbers of colour fields in muted shades jostle against one another. It is the shapes and the space between them which give energy to the painting whilst the colour palette restrains.
The painting is highly textured as the artist has applied the paint thickly and energetically with both palette knife and large brushstrokes. At times layers of paint reveal underlying colours.
This painting fits perfectly into the abstract genre with its focus on its formal qualities over and above its subject matter. Furthermore the artist experiments with reconstructing shapes and rejecting three dimensional perspective. A fine example of non objective art...
