Eugène Ionesco
Composition - Lithograph by Eugène Ionesco - 1970

1970

About the Item

Composition is an lithography artwork realized by Eugène Ionesco ( 1909-1994). In very good condition. Sheet dimension: 22.5 x 28 cm. The artwork represents a beautiful composition with a viola snake and a reddish flame, through vivid and bright colors, in a congruous harmony, created poetically by soft and delicate strokes. Eugène Ionesco ( 1909-1994) (born Nov. 26, 1909, Slatina, Rom.—died March 28, 1994, Paris, France), Romanian-born French dramatist whose one-act “antiplay” La Cantatrice chauve (1949; The Bald Soprano) inspired a revolution in dramatic techniques and helped inaugurate the Theatre of the Absurd. Elected to the Académie Française in 1970, Ionesco remains among the most important dramatists of the 20th century. Ionesco’s achievement lies in having popularized a wide variety of nonrepresentational and surrealistic techniques and in having made them acceptable to audiences conditioned to a naturalistic convention in the theatre. His tragicomic farces dramatize the absurdity of bourgeois life, the meaninglessness of social conventions, mechanical nature of modern civilization. His plays build on bizarrely illogical or fantastic situations using such devices as the humorous multiplication of objects on stage until they overwhelm the actors.
