Informel – Rosset Culleron 46. - Eines von 30 Exemplaren. - Der Stil von André Marfaing entledigt sich unwesentlichem Dekor ebenso wie unrelevanten Fragen, seine Auseinandersetzung mit der Farbe Schwarz und ihren subtilen Halbtönen und den dahinterstehenden Bedeutungen, dem Kontrast zum Licht, der Leere und Fülle offenbart auch philosophische Fragen der Existenz, dem Nichts und dem Sein. Aus den Gegensätzen erschafft Marfaing Arbeiten mit spannungsgeladenem Rhythmus und unmittelbarer Präzision und Prägnanz.

Informel – Aquatint etching on Arches wove paper (with. Wm.). Signed and numbered. Mounted under passepartout. -Slightly browned in recto margin and verso. Recto with scattered brown dots and verso rubbed and inscribed in pencil. Good overall. A splendid, burnished impression, with full margins and with scoop margins on two sides. - Rosset Culleron 46. - One of 30 copies. - André Marfaing's style dispenses with any superfluous decoration as well as irrelevant questions, his engagement with the colour black and its subtle tonal variations, and the meanings behind it, the contrast with light, emptiness and fullness, also reveals philosophical questions of existence, of nothingness and being. From these oppositions, Marfaing creates works of tense rhythm and immediate precision and conciseness.
