Artist: Michel Ciry (1919-2018)
Michel Ciry (1918-1919)
Saint-François à l'Alverne, 1976
Oil on canvas -
71 x 48 cm
Titled and countersigned on the back
Work reproduced in Michel Ciry by Michel Droit, editions La Bibliothèque des Arts (Paris - Ides et Calendes - Neuchâtel), p. 197
This work belongs to Michel Ciry's full maturity and perfectly illustrates the spiritual dimension of his work in the 1970s.
The subject, Saint-François à l'Alverne, is treated in a very spare manner: the ascetic face, intense gaze and deep blue background give the painting a meditative atmosphere very characteristic of the artist.
The composition is deliberately simple and focused on the figure's inner expression. The monastic garb is reduced to the essentials, emphasizing the strength of the gaze and the fragility of the face.
This simplicity reinforces the timelessness of the work.The fact that the painting is reproduced in Michel Droit's reference work is an important element: it is a perfectly documented work, clearly identified in the artist's corpus.
