This beautiful vintage French graphite figure sketch, rendered on paper, showcases energetic and abstracted strokes and forms. This miniature sketch stands as a classic example of early abstraction in Mid-Century Europe, capturing the spirit and innovation of the era. The artwork is in remarkably good condition for its age, exhibiting only the normal signs of wear/age/paper fading as is expected with vintage art of this period, making it a treasured piece for collectors and art enthusiasts alike. Notably, the reverse side of the sketch contains details where the artist made notes, indicating that this piece was cut from a notebook, adding to its historical and artistic value.

Abstract Art (1905-1950) is any form of art that does not represent reality convincingly, but instead distorts it. In this movement, artists began with a known visible object and abstracted it to produce a more simplified form. Pioneers of the Abstract Art movement include Kandinsky, Malevich and Mondrian. 

All artwork comes professionally framed in a classic gallery style moulding, with a 4.5" archival, acid-free mat and Acrylite Conservation Glazing, filtering out 99% of harmful UV light. The frame is available in 4 finishes upon checkout, with additional mat and frame options available upon request. 

Material: graphite, paper

Size: 12 3/4" x 12 1/4"
