Recto. Green Eyes, Verso. Untitled 1962

"Recto. Green Eyes, Verso. Untitled" (1962) is a work by Belgian artist Pierre Alechinsky. The print exemplifies Alechinsky's signature style, characterized by gestural, abstract lines and forms. In this particular piece, the artist uses a bold, crimson ink to create a dynamic composition that evokes a sense of energy and movement. The green eyes that give the work its title are a striking contrast against the red background, drawing the viewer's attention to a central focal point. This work exemplifies Alechinsky's exploration of gestural abstraction and the power of line, which became defining features of his artistic practice.
