Composition

About the Item

Composition Screenprint in colors, n.d. Signed and numbered in pencil by the artist. (see photos) Edition: 200 (15/200) Condition: Excellent Image size: Image: 9-3/8 x 7-1/2" (24.3 x 19 cm.) The painter Bernard Mandeville, whose artistic career began in 1935 and ended in 2001, was preceded in name and surname by a famous author of the 17th century, the father of the famous "Fable of the Bees", a true manifesto of liberal ideas that inspired politics and economics. This other Bernard Mandeville taught that men should be like bees: contribute to the collective good while seeking the satisfaction of their individual ambitions and impulses. Individualism, in a well-organized society, leads to the collective improvement, explained this first of the Mandevilles. This purely nominative heritage does not seem to have weighed on the shoulders of our Bernard Mandeville. Especially since his singular work has contributed to the common good of the plastic arts. Seduced by the soft grays and misty landscapes of Rouen, his native city, he painted views of the Seine at a very young age in a style close to that of Joseph Delattre. After taking refuge in Auvergne during the war, he enriched his palette while darkening it, following in the footsteps of Nicolas de Staël. In 1968, he moved to Paris and developed his own language, radically abstract but inspired by organic forms, rocks and shells. Our work is a perfect and fluid example, of a lyrical and sober abstraction at the same time. The subtle colors are like pastels, soft colors but with a strong presence. Courtesy honoredesarts

    Signed in pencil Edition 100 Printer: Styria Studio, Inc., NY, with their blindstamp This earlier (1966) sculpture of the same title is the inspiration of the portfolio. The sculpture is in the collection of the Albright Knox Museum. The screenprints follow the neon of the sculpture. Greek-born American sculptor Chryssa—who went by her first name professionally—died on December 23, 2013, reports Margalit Fox of the New York Times. Born in 1933 in Athens, Chryssa Vardea-Mavromichali grew up during the Nazi occupation of Greece. After studying at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière, Paris, and the California School of Fine Arts, San Francisco, she began incorporating neon into her fragmentary, text-based work. Her first solo exhibition in New York was held at the Betty Parsons Gallery in 1961, which was quickly followed by shows at the Guggenheim, New York; Leo Castelli Gallery, New York; and the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis. Her work is part of collections of major museums, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; and the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, DC.
