Discover a superb old lithograph attributed to Maurice Legendre (born in 1928), a French artist trained at the prestigious École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs, a student of Robert Couturier and a contemporary of the great artists who shaped abstraction and material art in the 60s and 70s. A rare, deeply expressive work. This piece represents a stylised study of the human torso, playing with a subtle palette of amber yellow and deep burgundy. A powerful dialogue is created between gesture, line, and texture: A graphic writing typical of Legendre's explorations of form and matter, oscillating between anatomical reference and modern abstraction. A print on exceptional paper. Printed on BFK Rives, one of the most iconic art papers of the 20th century, used in major Parisian studios for its grain quality, flexibility, and durability over time. This medium gives the work an incomparable visual presence and a noble texture, immediately recognisable. 📐 Dimensions. • Sheet: 64.5 × 48.5 cm. • Image: 61.5 × 44.5 cm. ✨ Condition. • Very good overall condition. • Work never framed, kept flat. • Sturdy paper, beautiful hold, vibrant colours. • A few slight signs of age, consistent with an old work. 📦 Shipping & presentation.
