Composition 1959

"Composition" (1959) by Jacques Hérold (1910-1987) is an abstract work on paper that uses bold lines and contrasting colors to create a sense of depth and movement. The artwork is dominated by a textured, mottled background in shades of beige and brown, which creates a feeling of organic growth. Set against this backdrop, a large green form extends across the composition, appearing to twist and turn within the space. The form's irregular shape and the contrast between the green and the background evoke a sense of dynamism and energy. Hérold's style is characterized by bold use of line and color, often inspired by the natural world. His work often explores themes of movement, growth, and transformation.
