Description
Alain Le Yaouanc (born 1940) - Collage on cigar box. Offset print on heavy paper, 77 x 54 cm. Signed in white chalk by the artist lower right. Condition A, perfect state of conservation. This work illustrates Le Yaouanc's surrealist, dreamlike world, in which everyday objects - in this case cigar boxes - are used as the basis for an imaginary architectural construction. The artist, who was close to Aragon and Breton, excelled in the art of collage, which he transposed here using offset printing, retaining all the precision and poetry of his original compositions. The signature in white chalk, affixed directly to the dark area of the image, underlines the personal nature of this print and testifies to the care taken by the artist to distribute his graphic work. The print is representative of his work on space, emptiness and the memory of objects.
