Abstract … Read more A 1973 coloured pencil drawing by French painter Maurice Blond, depicting a resting horse rendered in red and purple. Abstract swirls and shapes animate the horse’s body, which rests on a patch of green before an abstract red form, set against a vivid blue background. Expressive pencil strokes contrast with the refined details and graceful pose of the horse, while the pastel palette and abstract motifs create a dreamlike, compelling atmosphere. The drawing is glazed in its original artist’s frame, mounted on kraft paper, and finished with grey tape. Signed at the front and dated on the back, it is a fascinating and visually engaging piece.Born in Poland in 1899, Blond moved to Paris in 1924, immersed in the vibrant art scene of Montparnasse among Eastern European painters from the School of Paris, such as Abraham Mintchine and Chaïm Soutine. His work spans dreamy interior scenes and streetscapes, all characterised by expressionist brushwork and vivid colours. See less
