Rue de la mer 1974

"Rue de la mer," a 1974 painting by Gerard Fromanger, presents a bold and graphic style. The artwork, characterized by a fragmented composition, depicts a figure in a stark, minimalist manner. Fromanger's signature use of strong, flat colors creates a striking visual impact. The figure, rendered with bold outlines and simplified features, is set against a geometric background of contrasting colors, emphasizing the sense of urban environment, creating a sense of anonymity in the human figure. This work exemplifies the artist's interest in exploring themes of urban life and individual identity. Fromanger's bold artistic choices and simple depiction of the figure in an urban environment make the painting a captivating example of 20th-century art.
