Wave 1954

"Wave" is a bold and expressive work created in 1954 by the French artist Jean Degottex. Executed in black ink on paper, the painting captures the dynamic energy of the natural world. Degottex's gestural brushstrokes create a sense of movement and fluidity, suggesting the crashing force of a wave. The abstract composition evokes a sense of both power and fragility, highlighting the artist's fascination with the interplay of form and nature. Degottex's work, often influenced by calligraphy and Zen Buddhism, is characterized by its spontaneous and intuitive nature, emphasizing the immediacy of artistic expression.
