About the Item
"Maïtena - Couple de Basques" is a charming and evocative print by the French artist Louis Floutier, a painter and designer renowned for his deep connection to and depiction of Basque culture. Floutier, who was active during the early to mid-20th century, had a profound love for the Basque region, which is reflected in the authenticity and warmth of his work.
This particular piece, "Maïtena - Couple de Basques," captures a scene of traditional Basque life with a simplicity and directness that is characteristic of Floutier's style. The image features a young Basque couple in a rural setting, rendered in bold colors and clean lines. The woman, Maïtena, a common Basque name, stands gracefully holding a large, possibly handcrafted, basket, while the man sits casually on a stone wall, seemingly in conversation with her. Their clothing is traditional, with the man's beret and red belt (a common Basque accessory) anchoring the scene in a specific cultural context.
Floutier's use of a circular composition is particularly noteworthy. This format draws the viewer's eye directly into the intimate world of the couple, while also echoing the design elements often found in folk art and stained glass. The background, though minimalistic, hints at the rolling hills and pastoral landscapes of the Basque countryside, with distant buildings and a horizon line that suggests the presence of a close-knit community.
The color palette is vibrant yet harmonious, with earthy tones of brown, green, and blue dominating the scene. These colors not only reflect the natural environment of the Basque Country but also symbolize the deep connection the Basque people have with their land. The figures are stylized but expressive, their postures and gestures conveying a sense of calm and contentment.
Louis Floutier's work is deeply rooted in the cultural revivalism of the Basque region during the early 20th century, a period when there was a concerted effort to preserve and celebrate Basque language, customs, and traditions in the face of modernization and external influences. His art can be seen as part of a broader movement to document and promote regional identities within France.
"Maïtena - Couple de Basques" is more than just a decorative piece; it is a cultural artifact that reflects the pride and resilience of the Basque people. The print embodies Floutier's dedication to capturing the spirit of Basque life, from the everyday moments to the deep-seated traditions that define the region.
In the context of Floutier's broader oeuvre, this print stands out as a tender and affectionate portrayal of rural Basque life. It offers viewers a glimpse into the world that inspired the artist—a world where tradition and modernity intersect, and where cultural identity is both celebrated and preserved.
For collectors and enthusiasts of regional art, "Maïtena - Couple de Basques" is a valuable piece that not only showcases Louis Floutier's skill as an artist but also serves as a visual document of Basque heritage. Its timeless appeal lies in its ability to convey the universal themes of love, community, and the beauty of everyday life, all set against the backdrop of one of Europe's most distinctive and vibrant cultures.

Conklin Lee Ten Years After, Sun Ra and Country Weather - 1968 Original Poster
Located in PARIS, FR
Original Poster from Lee Conklin.
Lee Conklin is an artist best known for his psychedelic posters from the late 1960s and particularly for his iconic cover of Santana's first album.
At the time, photography was the basis of advertising, while psychedelic graphics were done by hand and were mostly based on an illustration concept.
The posters of this movement claim a new aesthetic: the flashy and warm colors, the shapes and moving typography and the density of the motif that invades the space translate the psychedelic vision, often associated with the taking of substances such as LSD.
The psychedelic experience was evident in Ten Years After and Country Weather entangled in the branches of the island tree, but this was not a classic tree-of-life image. Fillmore West hung from the branches on spider web threads.
