Artwork Description
This is a bright and powerful lithograph by French painter Jean-Michel Atlan, which clearly shows the experimental spirit of the Cobra movement. Warm ochre and deep red colors are layered, and lines that give rhythm to the image increase in density. Emphasized dark outlines reveal the form of a fantastical winged animal, expressing a primal and poetic worldview.
