Lot Details
Watercolor. Monogrammed in the lower right. On firm BFK Rives wove paper (with watermark). 32 x 52 cm. Sheet: 50 x 65,3 cm.
[MH].
- Henri Michaux is considered a pioneer in the field of literature and visual arts. - For Michaux, painting is a means of expressing what cannot be put into words. - The interplay of deep black, bright yellow, and delicate blue creates a tense balance between dynamism and tranquility.
Henri Michaux, Studio Paul Facchetti, Paris, 1957, cat. no. 773 (with the label on the reverse)
Max Niedermayer Collection (1905-1968), Wiesbaden. Estate of Dr. Max Niedermayer, Wiesbaden. Private collection, Rhineland-Palatinate (acquired from the above in 1979). In family ownership since
Good overall impression. Overall foxing and with mount staining. Due to the technique used, there is a faint water stain around the image. Tiny pinholes in the corners of the sheet, probably due to mounting. The edges of the sheet are slightly irregular, with some tiny losses of paper, small tears, and slight bumping. Mounting tape around the reverse, partially visible on the recto.
