Description
Gérard SEKOTO (Middelburg 1913 - Nogent sur Marne 1993) Women in an interior Mixed media on paper 65 x 50 cm Signed and dated lower right G. Sekoto 91 Preparatory notes and pencil sketches on the back, later annotations in bic The back of the work is an exceptional document in its own right: Sekoto wrote down the preparatory sketches for the composition, along with notes on postures and colours and a precise narrative indication. This handwritten brief reveals the artist's method, between intuition and thoughtful construction, and gives this sheet a rare documentary value. Provenance Former private collection in Metz, acquired in a private sale. This work illustrates Gerard Sekoto's constant attention to everyday scenes and moments of intimate sociability. With its tight composition, the domestic scene goes beyond the anecdotal to take on a profoundly human dimension. The pared-down treatment of the drawing reveals his interest in the relationships between people and the discreet poetry of ordinary moments. Behind this apparent simplicity lies the experience of exile and memory, central themes in his Parisian work.
