Levez le doigt et tout l'univers est là 1959

"Levez le doigt et tout l'univers est là" (Raise Your Finger and the Entire Universe Is There), created in 1959 by French artist Jean Degottex, exemplifies the artist's abstract style. The work features bold black strokes and splatters on a white canvas, reminiscent of Japanese calligraphy. The gestural nature of the brushwork evokes a sense of spontaneity and immediacy, inviting viewers to interpret the meaning behind the seemingly simple yet powerful forms. Degottex's abstract work challenged conventional artistic norms, highlighting the expressive potential of pure form and line.
