"3 noisettes dans le ciel" (1972) by French artist Jean Messagier (1920-1999) is an abstract painting characterized by its vibrant color palette and gestural brushstrokes. The work features a central motif of overlapping yellow and green shapes against a deep blue background, reminiscent of a stylized flower or a cosmic phenomenon. Messagier's style, often described as lyrical abstraction, emphasizes expressive mark-making and an exploration of color relationships, creating a dynamic and visually arresting composition.
