Description
César Baldaccini, known as César (1921-1998) - Avoriaz. Original lithograph in colours on untrimmed wove paper, 71.5 x 56 cm. Signed in pencil by the artist lower right. Condition A, perfect state of conservation. This work illustrates the encounter between the sculptor's plastic universe and the visionary identity of the resort of Avoriaz. The choice of vellum paper with untrimmed edges gives the print an authentic, raw dimension, underlining the craftsmanship of the lithographic print. Through a composition punctuated by a play of superimpositions and sharp chromatic contrasts, César transposes his vocabulary of shapes - between structure and expansion - onto the two-dimensional plane. The artist's handwritten signature confirms the original value of this piece, which is typical of his graphic work from the 1970s, when he applied his genius to emblematic architectural and cultural projects.
