Le Grill 1929 - 1932

Andre Dunoyer de Segonzac made "Le Grill" with delicate lines that scratch and dance across the page, evoking a hazy summer day. I can almost feel the artist's hand moving quickly, trying to catch the light as it flickers across the scene. There's a sense of urgency, like trying to capture a fleeting memory. What was Segonzac thinking as he made this, squinting in the sun? I can imagine he worked fast, not belaboring the process. This reminds me a little of Cy Twombly’s work, where lines become like gestures, or whispers of movement. The grill sits amidst a tangle of organic shapes. A conversation about form and formlessness. A way of seeing that emphasizes feeling over precision. And really, isn’t that what art's all about?
