About the Item

Signed lower right "Grise" and painted circa 1965. A substantial Expressionist-style figural watercolor of a young woman reclining on a divan. Grise first studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and, beginning in the 1960s, created mixed-media figural works that incorporated a variety of celestial motifs blended into surrealist-derived abstract compositions. He was influenced by the work of Hans Bellmer and his paintings are generally erotic and mysterious in feeling, frequently featuring a female nude contrasted against a loosely-painted and explosively colorful background.
