About the Item

It takes a certain confidence and mastery of color to work in such dark, dense hues. Yves Gaucher (1934-2000) is one of Quebec's most important and influential printmakers and painters. He is renowned for his ultra-minimal, at times austere, asymmetrical compositions of dense color. Like Harold Town, Gaucher first established his reputation as a printmaker in the late 1950s. Gaucher is credited with reviving and promoting the art of printmaking in Quebec in the 1950s and 60s. Teaching at Concordia University, Gaucher taught many accomplished artists and influenced their forays into printmaking: Betty Goodwin is a notable student from the 1960's. This later work is a paradigm of the use of heavy shapes and imposing color. Depending on the time of day, the dense dark colors can read slate green, eggplant, deep brown, or charcoal. As for the forms, they recall some of Frank Stella's "Irregular Polygons" from the late 1960s - where two shapes confront each other ambiguously.

Located in Miami, FL
Gerd Leufert Title: Erebos Signed, titled, dated ‘91 and inscribed P/A in pencil (lower center) Screenprint on paper 23⅝ by 22⅜ in. / 60 by 56.8 cm. Executed in 1991, this work is an artist’s proof from an edition of 35 plus 1 artist’s proof. Provenance: Private Collection, Venezuela - Acquired from the above by the present owner - Sotheby's Auction “The first duty of the creator: restlessness,” Gerd Leufert wrote in 1985, looking back on his 30-year career as an artist, designer, museum worker, and professor of art in Venezuela.1 Bridging the worlds of commerce and culture in Caracas, Leufert’s impact on art and design owed to his interdisciplinary approach: the influence of cutting-edge developments in abstract art appeared in his graphic design, while the efficiency and bold contrast of mid-century design characterized his paintings. An immigrant born in German-controlled Lithuania at the cusp of the first World War, Leufert studied arts and design in Hannover, Mainz, and, finally, in Munich with the German typographer Fritz H...
