Description
Alain Gauthier (1935-2017) - Figurative composition. Original lithograph in colours on wove paper, 70 x 51 cm. Signed in pencil by the artist lower right and numbered 181/200 lower left. Condition B, mounted on card. This work is representative of the dreamlike, poetic world of Gauthier, the great master of French poster art and illustration, whose style is on the edge of surrealism and the graphic elegance of the 70s and 80s. His work is distinguished by its extremely fine lines and subtle use of shading, creating images that are both gentle and enigmatic, often centred on the female figure or metaphorical landscapes. His technical mastery of lithography allows him to convey the delicacy of his chromatic blends and the precision of his calligraphic strokes. The standard vertical format emphasises the verticality of his composition and the clarity of his page layout, characteristic of his experience as a renowned publicist for major luxury brands. This print, from a limited edition of 200, is a perfect illustration of Gauthier's ability to transform an image into a silent, timeless narrative.
