Lively blue skies enliven this image of a port with boats. The squared buildings are trumped by the sinuous grace of the bows and sails on the ships. Deep blue water at the bottom of the picture balances the softer blue skies at the top. This fluid scene is both sensuous and elegant, ideal for every taste.

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.
