About the Item

Title: Mid Century French Geometric Abstract in Black White and Brown Signed SG by Serge Guerin (b. 1916), French signed lower right “SG”, name stamped verso Acrylic and gouache on brown artists paper, unframed Size: 19.75 (height) x 25.75 (width) inches Provenance: private collection, Paris, France Condition: overall good and sound; minor edge wear and light handling marks consistent with age; surface bright and stable with no major imperfections. Description: A powerful mid-century abstract composition by French artist Serge Guerin (b.1916), executed in acrylic and gouache on artists paper. This striking geometric work features intersecting angular forms in shades of black, white, and rich brown, set against a warm ochre background. The sharp, radiating lines and diamond-like planes give the piece a sense of motion and energy, emblematic of Guerin’s distinctive mid-century modern aesthetic. The work exemplifies Guerin’s fascination with geometry and rhythm, blending the structural clarity of Constructivism with the expressive precision of the Hard-Edge abstraction movement. His use of gouache and acrylic creates contrast between matte and opaque surfaces, heightening the tension between light and dark elements. The composition’s layered symmetry and starburst structure evoke both architectural design and dynamic movement, making it visually engaging from every angle. Signed “SG” lower right, this piece captures the sophisticated elegance and design-forward sensibility of post-war French abstraction. Its warm neutral palette allows it to integrate seamlessly into mid-century modern, minimalist, or contemporary interiors. Collectors of 1950s and 60s French geometric art will appreciate its refined execution and bold visual statement. From the artist’s estate, this original work on paper highlights Guerin’s mastery of composition, form, and tonal balance.
