Description
This artwork is a striking example of early 20th-century abstraction, showcasing geometric precision and avant-garde elements. The composition, framed in a dark wooden border, is dominated by intersecting angular planes that evoke a dynamic sense of movement and depth. Subtle shades of blue and brown enhance the dimensionality, creating a harmonious contrast against the creamy background. The triangular and polygonal shapes suggest sails, depicting abstracted nautical themes. Two minimalistic figures at the base add a human element, grounding the abstract scene. The artwork’s clean lines and muted color palette contribute to its serene yet thought-provoking presence, making it a testament to modern abstraction’s ability to transcend traditional representation.
Presentation
Yan B. Morel, born on June 18th 1887, was a French painter, landscape designer, decorator, illustrator and film maker.
Morel was a friend of Robert Delauney the cubist painter and became an ambassador for the Art Deco movement.
He produced many advertisements for various companies ( eg. Campari in 1929 ) and was shown in the famous Paul Poiret collection : Pan-Annuaire du luxe a Paris, Devambez, 1928.
He is also well known for his illustrations for book covers ( often in dry point ) produced by Simon Kra such as ' les oraisons amoureuses ' by Jeanne-Aurelie Grivolin , 'Lyonnaise' by Roger Pillet and ' La danse macabre' by Pierre Mac Orlan. Morel was also known for his drawings and photos of the erotic, mainly anonymous. He also produced his own book of illustrations called ' La petite ville ' which detailed the daily life in a provincial village.
His paintings were exhibited in the 'Salon des Tuileries ' in 1937 and 1938.
Yan B was deported by the Germans in 1943 for acts of resistance ( harbouring and helping Jews to flee the country ) and sent to Buchenwald where he died in 1944.
