Hand signed and numbered in pencil. Slightly browned on margins. In this powerful lithograph, Manessier explores his signature interplay of form and light through a dense mosaic of vivid hues. Dominated by deep blacks and sky-blue contours, the composition is punctuated with radiant blocks of red, orange, purple, and turquoise. The arrangement of circular and rectilinear elements, combined with the energetic linear network, evokes the artist’s lifelong fascination with stained glass and sacred luminosity. The effect is both architectural and lyrical, a hallmark of Manessier’s abstract style. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
