About the Item
This original mid-20th-century modernist painting by French artist Michel Patrix (1917–1973) presents a bold and thoughtful still life composition featuring two tobacco pipes. Executed in a geometric, abstract style, the work reflects Patrix’s signature approach—transforming everyday objects into powerful visual statements through the interplay of form, color, and structure.
Patrix’s use of simplified shapes and muted tones offers a modern interpretation of traditional still life, with a strong emphasis on line and spatial balance. This piece stands as a fine example of French post-war modernism, where abstraction met domestic subject matter in fresh, experimental ways.
The painting is housed in a custom frame with archival materials. Framed dimensions: 12 ¾ x 24 ¾ x ¾ inches, image size: 9 x 21 ½ inches
In very good vintage condition, the work remains clean, vibrant, and ready to display.
About the Artist:
Michel Patrix was a noted French modernist painter celebrated for his minimalist yet expressive style. His work often explored still life and abstraction, and he exhibited widely throughout France during the mid-20th century. Today, Patrix is recognized as a key figure in the evolution of post-war European modernism.
