"Chevaux de mer" (1955) is an abstract lithograph by French artist Rene Duvillier, known for his bold use of color and line. The composition features a central, spiky, brown form reminiscent of a seashell, perhaps a seahorse, surrounded by a vibrant blue, almost black, shape that resembles a wave or a fish. The artist's abstract style, characterized by gestural brushstrokes and simplified forms, invites viewers to interpret the work's meaning, reflecting the dynamic and fluid nature of the sea.
