Peinture 1957

This abstract artwork, "Peinture," by Simon Hantai, is a striking example of the artist's signature style. Created in 1957, the painting features a dense web of interwoven lines and shapes, set against a dark green background. These intricate marks, made with a variety of painting techniques, evoke a sense of energy and dynamism. Hantai's work often explores the interplay between chance and control, as seen in this piece where the artist's gestures are juxtaposed with the structured patterns of the lines. This piece is a testament to Hantai's exploration of abstract expressionism and his unique approach to mark-making.
