About the Item

This artwork "Abstract Composition" c. 1960 is an original color carborundum etching with embossing by noted French artist Max Papart, 1911-1994. It is hand signed and numbered 32/50 in pencil by the artist. The artwork size (plate mark) is 27 x 37 inches, framed size is 41.5 x 50 inches. Custom framed in a metal black frame, with off white matting. It is in excellent condition, frame has minor scratches, barely visible. About the artist: Max Papart 1911-1994 was born in France. He was influenced by such rich and varied sources as Cranach, Delacroix, Matisse, and Klee and inspired by his friend Jacques Prevert, Max Papart did work intended to open a window into a world that provokes as much thought as pleasure. Subjects include sunny landscapes of the South of France as well as witty collaged portraits. Working in a Cubist style, he depicted circus scenes, flirting couples, soaring birds, and other cheerful subjects with flat, overlapping planes of contrasting colors and textures which suggest many levels of depth. He often achieved what has been called a "time window" effect, through which the viewer senses the past or future. This is not to say that Papart is simply a purveyor of superficial entertainment. For all its decorative gaiety, his work also forces the viewer to think. As the noted critic André Parinaud put it, "We are going to rediscover Papart as one of the masters of the second cubist generation, born from color and from the geometric demand of the composition...His radiating warmth will be much appreciated." Papart's work is widely recognized by critics and connoisseurs alike. Since his first one-man show in 1946, he had over 300 museum and gallery exhibitions around the globe, and is the subject of dozens of books and catalogues.
