• Georges Mathieu created works with a sensual, lyrical effect.
• They are the result of his powerful and gestural brushstrokes, streaks of color, shimmering blobs and drips.
• He is regarded as one of the main representatives of Tachism, a French form of Informalism.
• One year after it was created, he took part in documenta II in Kassel.

PROVENANCE: Private collection Baden-Württemberg.

In good condition. Overall slightly browned, somewhat more so along the sheet edges. Small creases in the left margin and isolated small foxed spots.
