Item History & Price
ROLAND BIERGE /FRANCE (1922-1991) SIGNED ABSTRACT SERIGRAPH, ED. #50/75 'NATURE MORTE FOND BLEU' [Still Life Blue](In original period chrome metal frame, w/original mat board & under glass)Mid-20th Century
DESCRIPTION:This really spectacular abstract Modernist serigraph (colored silkscreen ink print) by French Modernist artist Roland Bierge, is completely non-representational and quickly dispenses with any notion that this work of art has some kind of responsibility to 'rep...resent' something other than itself. What we see then is an interior pictorial conversation and the building and tearing down of the architecture of visual poetry. In the work, negative spaces in white, dance and dart in and out of positive, colored forms, creating a spatial shift and the uncertainty over what is foreground and what is background. The entire surface is cut up and the whites become, instead of subservient background noise, legitimate forms and on an equal footing along with the colored forms. Bierge seemed to be involved with and focused on both the construction and deconstruction of image-making, where things are put-down and no sooner erased. This building up and tearing down was much more interesting to Modernist artists and much more in tune with the plastic experience and true artistic enterprise. Ego was dispatched and honest intellectual and emotional inquiry was allowed to flourish and it did as a result. This French Modernist abstract print was no accident. it in and of itself, represents a major international aesthetic movement and current in Modern art. This was the height of Modernism, where completely abstracted works of art supplanted even slightly representational ones, where nature was at least hinted at and abstracted. Here, Bierge completely dispenses with this and creates a successful self-referential piece. If asked, 'What's it all about?' The answer would be easy, ...itself or 'everything.' Outstanding and in incredibly well-preserved condition.
DIMENSIONS:24 ¼" Width x 22 ¼" Height (Frame)20" Width x 17" Height (Image)
CONDITION:Excellent, in 100% original, unmolested, untouched condition. The serigraph is still in its unopened original period Modernist chrome metal frame, with original mat board and is under glass. It is very clean and although there is some buckling of the print along the edges due to fluctuations in humidity, the print is otherwise flawless and in superb overall vintage condition.
