About the Item
Henri Morez in this large-scale canvas expresses his usual themes: solitude, emptiness, helplessness, suffering.
The lasciviousness of the bodies testifies to their abandonment, their helplessness, despite their number. The artist constructed the canvas like a sculpture. The colors used and the shadows with which he surrounds the bodies contribute to this impression of statuary representation.
Width: 146 cm (57.48 inches)
Height: 97 cm (38.19 inches)
Biography : Henri Morez (1922-2017)
Painter and cartoonist, friend of Sempé, Uderzo and Gosciny.
Henri Morez was noticed at an early age by painter Emmanuel Mané-Katz.
Talented artist, from the age of sixteen, he exhibited at the Salon d’Automne since 1938, but the war destroyed his world. Denounced, his entire family was deported, and he never saw them again.
Art and and humor became a means of survival for the artist. In the 50s, his cartoons were published in Le Figaro littéraire, Paris Match, Jours de France… At the end of the 60s, he returned to painting, where he managed to make a name for himself in the Parisian milieu. For his first major exhibition, he was in 1968 at the gallery of Katia Granoff, who had worked to the recognition of Chagall and Soutine.
Henri Morez’s sometimes immense canvases, with their clean, geometric forms, bordering on abstraction, and a great mastery of gradation reinforce this sense of vertigo and eternal flight. A chosen solitude, necessary for his creation, Morez lives in opposition and violence in his studio in the rue Notre-Dame-des-Champs, which was once Mané Katz’s studio.He died in his studio in 2017.
