Blanc 1974

"Blanc" (1974) is an abstract painting by Hungarian artist Simon Hantai. It is a characteristic example of his "Mouton" series, where Hantai created his works by folding and crumpling the canvas before applying paint, resulting in a unique, textured, and abstract style. The result is a dynamic and captivating artwork, full of energetic, vibrant colors, and captivating textures. The bright white background acts as a contrast to the fragmented, colourful shapes, creating a sense of depth and movement on the canvas. Hantai's work challenges the traditional concept of painting by using a technique that is more intuitive and spontaneous.
