Bateau Ivre 1948

"Bateau Ivre" (1948) by Serge Charchoune is an abstract painting. The artwork features a dominant, deep, dark green hue with a subtle blue, creating a sense of depth and space. The painting uses a series of short, vertical brushstrokes that represent a "drunken boat", a theme explored in the poetry of Arthur Rimbaud. This piece reflects Charchoune's unique style, which often used geometric shapes to create abstract landscapes. The painting's dynamic and energetic compositions highlight the artist's approach to abstraction.
