Study 1969

"Study" is a 1969 painting by Simon Hantai, a Hungarian-French artist known for his innovative abstract style. Hantai's work often features vibrant colors and intricate patterns, which he achieved through a unique process of folding and unfolding canvas before applying paint. This piece, with its interplay of white and red, showcases this technique, creating a sense of depth and texture. Hantai's abstract works challenge viewers to explore their own interpretations and engage with the visual language of color and form.
