Serpent de mer 1955

"Serpent de mer" is a 1955 work by French artist Rene Duvillier. The artwork is an abstract expressionist piece, with a bold purple form dominating the white background. The form appears to be a twisting, serpentine creature, referencing the title, "Serpent de mer," which translates to "sea serpent." The use of vibrant purple, along with the dramatic sweeping lines, adds to the dynamic energy of the piece. Duvillier's bold and minimalist style, is reminiscent of other abstract expressionist artists of the time.
