Silvin BRONKART (1915-1967)
Seated Man
Silvin Bronkart, 1955
Graphic pencil on Steinbach laid paper
71.5 × 54.5 cm
Sold unframed
A major work from Bronkart's mature period. A dense network of oblique planes and broken lines structures the space around a large shaded circle and an angular zigzag form, creating an architectural tension and an almost organic vitality. Exceptional mastery of graphite: velvety blacks, subtle grays, and pure whites on Steinbach paper give the whole a sculptural presence.
Condition: perfect.
Provenance: directly from the artist's daughter.
Authenticity: listed in the online catalogue raisonné (art-info.be). A singular figure of the Liège avant-garde and a founding member of the Réalité-Cobra group,
Silvin Bronkart (1915-1967) always prioritized quality over quantity. His large compositions on Steinbach sculptures from 1954-1956 are among his most sought-after pieces.
Sold unframed.
