About the Item

Hailing from Liège and Brussels, with a background in the Académie des Beaux-Arts, Leon Collard painted this woman on handmade paper with acrylic. Utilizing negative space, Leon captures the viewer's eye by adding varying weights to each brush stroke, thereby giving depth to both portraits while simultaneously rendering them with soft, bodily lines. Less really is more, and Leon exemplifies this with his use of negative space and high contrast. Created between 1980 and 1990, after his move to Chicago in 1951, where he spent three years at the Art Institute of Chicago. The bold, abstract representation of this lady in a hat, with its sharp angles and textured lines, aligns with the rejection of classical beauty in favor of a new, modern aesthetic. Leon beautifully articulates the soft yet sharp lines with textured brushstrokes, giving his subject striking physical features. I added the matching drawing picture. If you buy both, the shipping will be divided almost in half.
