Le vent no 11 1960

"Le vent no 11," a 1960 abstract painting by French artist Rene Duvillier (1919-2002), showcases the artist's mastery of gestural abstraction. The work is a swirling mass of deep blue paint applied with broad strokes that evoke a sense of movement and energy. The title, "Le vent" (The Wind), suggests the inspiration for the painting, which is the wind's powerful and unpredictable force. The work is a striking example of Duvillier's signature style, which blends abstract expressionism with a lyrical and poetic sensibility.
