Aquarelle 1965

Jean Rene Bazaine’s "Aquarelle" from 1965 is an abstract work that displays the artist’s unique style through layered, vibrant colors and gestural strokes. The artwork includes hand-written text and a textured white border with a repeating pattern of red triangles. Bazaine is considered a key figure in the French Art Informel movement, a post-war art movement characterized by its focus on materiality, gestural abstraction, and a rejection of traditional artistic conventions. The inclusion of text in "Aquarelle" exemplifies the movement’s emphasis on spontaneity and improvisation. The artwork’s chaotic and energetic nature highlights the artist’s emotional engagement in the creative process.
