A French mid Century Abstract Expressionist acrylic on paper by Pierre Havret. The painting is signed and dated bottom right and presented in a gilt wood and cloth frame.
A lively and colourful Abstarct Expressionist painting with a lovely harmony of colour and shade. Havret has created a wonderful composition that draws the viewer in with his creation of perspective and movement.
Pierre Havret was born on the 7th October 1913 in Vannes, Morbihan, France. He originally studied medicine but his studies were interrupted by the war. He decided his calling was towards art and between 1948 and 1952 he studied at the Académie populaire des arts plastiques, Paris. It was at this period that he moved away from figurative art and more towards abstraction and the influence of the American Abstract Expressionists. He searched for irregularity in his compositions but still harmony in colours and tints
He exhibited extensively including 1948, Jeanne Castel, Paris; 1956, Leicester, United Kingdom; 1987, Bernard Davignon, Paris.
Abstract Expressionism is an artistic movement of the mid-20th century comprising diverse styles and techniques and emphasizing especially an artist’s liberty to convey attitudes and emotions through non traditional and usually nonrepresentational means. Major exponents included Kandinsky, Sobel, Rothko and Still.
'Abstract expressionists value expression over perfection, vitality over finish, fluctuation over repose, the unknown over the known, the veiled over the clear, the individual over society and the inner over the outer'
— William C. Seitz, American artist and Art historian
Abstract Expressionism takes from Surrealism and delivers the idea that art should be created by spontaneous and subconscious creation. Rather than planning out, sketching, and rendering a piece, the artist follows the flow of feeling and the openness of his mind to create.
Because Abstract Expressionism had no intention of rendering an image of something tangible, experimentation with colour took on a cerebral element. The artists became interested in how colour affected mood and thought.
