Chattigraphie 1974

"Chattigraphie" is a 1974 artwork by French artist Jean Degottex (1918-1988). The artwork features a simple composition of black and gray triangles against a white background, alongside flowing black ink lines in the lower portion of the canvas. This abstract painting demonstrates Degottex's minimalist style, which he developed in the 1960s, often focusing on geometric forms and gestural strokes. The simplicity of the composition allows the viewer to focus on the lines and shapes themselves, exploring the interplay of light and dark, and the dynamic flow of the ink. The artwork reflects Degottex's exploration of the essence of art and its fundamental elements.
