Artist: GUSTAVE SINGIER (1909-1984 - French)

Title: Abstract (original colour lithograph - framed)

Description:  Gustave Singier was born in Belgium but became a naturalised Frenchman. He exhibited at the Salon d'Automne and des Independents throughout the 1930s. Singier was a purist in abstraction, an avant-garde artist who was represented in the show 'Twelve Painters of Today' held in Paris in 1943.  He had a one-man shows in Stockholm and Brussels in the early 1950s and was regarded as an important Ecole de Paris painter and printmaker, one of the major Post War abstract artists working in Paris.

This original lithograph measures about 15 x 12 inches image size (38 x 31 cms) and in its frame it is 24 x 21 inches (61 x 53 cms).  The work is pencil signed, dated (19)57, and annotated by the artist 'E 73/75'.  The frame has some age (probably circa 1960). It has a simple black moulding and the mount is covered with hessian, which has some foxing.  The lithograph has no foxing but it has some discolouration with time - visible in the margins - and would benefit from professional cleaning.  Sangier's print editions were normally 100, 150 or 200 and this print is therefore scarcer than most of his work...
