About the Item
This evocative 1957 painting by French artist Claire Michelet (b. 1935) captures a sun-drenched Mediterranean hillside city through a sophisticated Post-Cubist lens.
Executed during the height of mid-century modernism, the work utilizes a tessellated, mosaic-like technique that deconstructs the traditional landscape into a rhythmic arrangement of geometric planes and soft pastel hues.
Michelet, a graduate of the prestigious École Nationale des Beaux-Arts de Lyon, masterfully balances architectural structure, notably the dominant central dome and vertical bell tower, with a flattened perspective reminiscent of the works of Paul Klee and Nicolas de Staël.
The impasto application adds a tactile depth to the board, emphasizing the play of light across the tiered rooftops of Southern France or Italy. Signed and dated "Claire Michelet '57" in the lower right, this piece serves as a quintessential example of mid-20th-century European abstraction, offering a serene yet intellectually rigorous interpretation of classic European topography that would anchor any modernist or eclectic art collection.
