Composition géométrique, c. 1970

Ink on Arches Paper - Hand signed unique original work // Composition géométrique by Geneviève Claisse, created around 1970, is a precise and minimalistic ink drawing on Arches paper that highlights Claisse’s mastery in geometric abstraction. The composition features a series of meticulously drawn parallel lines that intersect and diverge at sharp angles, creating a dynamic pattern of zigzagging and diagonal forms. The lines, primarily in black and blue ink, vary in thickness, enhancing the visual depth and rhythm of the piece. Claisse's work often explores the interplay of space, form, and line, and this piece exemplifies her ability to evoke movement and tension through minimal elements. The composition draws the viewer's eye across the paper, offering a sense of order and harmony while simultaneously engaging the mind with its complexity. Hand-signed by the artist, this unique work reflects Claisse's commitment to formalism and her deep influence on the geometric abstraction movement.
