This vibrant lithograph by Marcel Mouly features a semi-abstract interior scene with a still life. There is an elegant arrangement of objects on the table. In the background is an abstracted painting on the wall that appears to be a Madonna and child image. Red is dominant in this composition and is accented by green, yellow, blue and violet. A black artist palette is directly in the center of the piece, giving the print a sense of balance and dimension.
Marcel Mouly (1918-2008) was a French abstract artist who studied under Jacques Lipchitz. His work is in the collection of over 20 museums throughout the world, including the Museum of Modern Art Paris. He was awarded the Chevalier de L'Orde des Arts et Lettres (1957) and the Premier Prix de Lithographie (1973). "His art is pure and direct in its message," said art historian and writer Joseph Jacobs. "It is an art about beauty and life, and art roots firmly planted in the School of Paris. Picasso, Braque, Matisse, Rouault, Vlaminck, Chagall, Vuillard and Dufy are his patrimony, and he has carried their mantel with unflagging dedication." His work has sold for over $5000 at auction.
