Ink Drawing By Henri Nouveau (1901-1959)

A rare early drawing by Henri Nouveau, created in 1925, in which the artist explores a style deeply influenced by Constructivism and modern geometry. The composition is structured around a series of perpendicular lines, arcs, and geometric planes that converge at a central core, evoking abstract mechanics or imaginary architecture. The precision of the ink drawing, the balance of the axes, and the interplay of solids and voids demonstrate a refined approach characteristic of his work in the 1920s, a period still largely unrepresented on the market. This drawing offers a particularly interesting glimpse into Nouveau's intellectual and graphic development before his evolution, in subsequent decades, towards a more biomorphic and surrealist style.
