206 - *Gérard ECONOMOS (1935)

*Gérard ECONOMOS (1935) By the Lake Color lithograph on paper, signed lower right and marked “artist’s proof” in pencil in the margin 53 x 75 cm Folds in the lower left and upper left corners Note: Gérard Economos’s work is deeply rooted in color and the play of light. His compositions, often inspired by landscapes and natural atmospheres, convey a sensitive and almost meditative vision of the world, where forms seem to emerge through successive brushstrokes of colored pigment. In *Au bord du lac* (By the Lake), the artist creates a silent, enveloping landscape dominated by deep shades of blue and green. A few houses with red roofs dot the shore, creating a luminous contrast at the heart of this nocturnal or twilight scene. The reflections on the water and the free-flowing rendering of the vegetation lend the work a poetic and contemplative quality. This color lithograph on paper, signed in pencil and designated as an artist’s proof, is a particularly sought-after print due to its limited and exclusive nature. Despite a few visible creases in the margin, the work retains all its decorative appeal and will captivate lovers of modern landscapes and contemporary prints.
