Untitled 1962

Here is the audio guide script about the artwork: Maurice Esteve made this untitled watercolor painting, an intriguing dance of color and form. Notice the recurring motif of rounded shapes filled with vibrant colors, like the blues and reds. These shapes aren't just abstract; they evoke a primal sense of connection and emotion, like ancient fertility symbols or even cellular forms. They resonate with a deeper, subconscious understanding of life and creation. Consider how these same rounded forms appear in Paleolithic art, symbols of life and nourishment that were found throughout the world. This is a cyclical progression, a motif reappearing throughout art history. The painting is emotionally evocative with its bold colors. It speaks to a shared human experience that transcends time. This piece invites us to explore the cyclical nature of symbols.
