Printer: Mourlot (1 of 3,000 Editions)
Dimensions: 87 x 54 cm
Condition: Very good condition
Frame: Oak
Description: Mourlot produced this brightly coloured lithograph to promote Estève’s exhibition of collages produced between 1956 and 1973. He celebrated his 70th birthday on 2 May at the Galerie Claude Bernard in Paris.
Artist: Estève was a French painter, textile, collage and stained-glass designer who, along with his art colleagues Riopelle and Bazaine, established a new pictorial language known as lyrical abstractions - poetic form and colour.
At the age of nine, his family moved to Paris from Culan and by 1923, he was working as a textile designer in Barcelona. He spent much of his spare time visiting the Louvre. He was inspired by Cézanne, Jean Fouquet and Pablo Uccello. His art was largely self-taught, and his style echoed the works of Braque and Léger’s cubist and fauvism genres. His first solo exhibition was at the Galerie Yvangot in Paris in 1930. He went on to work as an assistant to Robert Delaunay on huge decorative panels for the Paris International Exhibition in 1937. By the 1940s, his style had morphed into abstract with tight interlocking shapes in rich, bold colours. His work is exhibited in many museums and collections around the world.
