Le Pardon 1946

"Le Pardon" (1946) is an abstract black and white ink drawing by French artist Charles Lapicque. Created during the postwar period, the work exemplifies the artist's signature style of bold, gestural strokes. The composition, characterized by dynamic curves and swirling forms, evokes a sense of movement and energy. This work, with its focus on abstract forms and expressive mark-making, reflects the artistic trends of the mid-20th century, particularly the growing interest in abstract art and the exploration of non-representational imagery.
