Fuite d'Actéon 1984

"Fuite d'Actéon" (1984) is an abstract work by French artist Jean Rene Bazaine (1904-2001). The work features a swirling, gestural application of ochre and crimson paint, evoking a sense of dynamism and movement. The abstract shapes suggest a figure, perhaps in flight, referencing the mythological tale of Actaeon, who was transformed into a stag and pursued by Diana's hounds. Bazaine was known for his abstract style, often using rich colors and expressive brushwork. This piece is typical of his work, showcasing his interest in exploring form and color.
