Description
Jean Picart Le Doux (1902-1982) - Time. Original lithograph in colours on wove paper, 53.5 x 74 cm. Signed in pencil by the artist. Condition A, perfect state of conservation. A leader in the revival of contemporary tapestry and a member of ADAP, Jean Picart Le Doux here transposes his monumental decorative language onto paper. This work, entitled "Time", explores a theme dear to the artist: the allegory of duration and cycles, often illustrated by solar symbols, stars, hourglasses or stylised plant elements. His technique is characterised by compositions of great architectural rigour, using flat, bold colours and sharp contrasts reminiscent of the tapestry board technique. The imposing horizontal format allows a poetic visual narrative to unfold, in which each shape is outlined with absolute graphic precision. The balance between order and imagination, typical of the aesthetic of the 50s and 60s, gives this piece a timeless dimension and a strong decorative presence. This lithograph is a major testament to the humanist art of Picart Le Doux, whose aim was to integrate the poetry of the symbol into everyday space.
