Serpent de mer 1955

Rene Duvillier's 1955 abstract work "Serpent de mer" is an example of the artist's use of gestural line to evoke a sense of movement and energy. The purple line, rendered with a confident stroke, appears to dance across the white canvas, suggesting a serpentine form or a dynamic, fluid figure. Duvillier, known for his unique style that often blended abstract expressionism with a touch of whimsy, created a work that invites the viewer to engage with its playful, energetic qualities.
