François Crabit (20th) Abstract Composition, 1980 Charcoal And Stump On Paper

Monogrammed "FC" lower left and dated "80" Framed dimensions: 61 x 51 cm Work representative of François Crabit's plastic research around matter and light. The composition, deliberately refined, depicts a dark vertical form that rises and diffuses in a clear space. Between flame, tree or surge of smoke, the artist suggests more than he describes, offering a lyrical and meditative vision. This aesthetic, specific to the end of the 70s and the beginning of the 80s, reflects an abstract and poetic approach, playing on the balance between density and transparency, concentration and dissolution. Condition: work in very good general condition. Slight patina of the paper with lighter areas at the corners, linked to an old frame, a classic phenomenon for works on paper from this period. This does not alter the reading of the composition in any way. Sober and elegant frame.
