7331 - Vacossin, Marie-Thérèse

Vacossin, Marie-Thérèse "Ecella" Acrylic on canvas. 2001. 60 x 60 cm. Signed "vacossin" in blue with a fiber-tip pen on the reverse and dated; signed, dated, and titled again on an adhesive label affixed to the stretcher bar, with details of dimensions and materials, and labeled "Série A no. 4." Clearly delineated, precise color fields create a visual dynamism and a sense of spatial depth through subtle nuances in the shades of blue. In her works within the fields of Concrete Art and Op Art, Vacossin intensively explores the optical effects of color spaces, the finest nuances, and geometric structures. Trained at the École des Arts Décoratifs de Paris and the École du Louvre, as well as under Robert Lapoujade from 1951 to 1955, Vacossin has been engaged in geometric abstraction since 1973, inspired by Ad Reinhardt.
