Michel Macréau (1935–1995) Untitled, 1989 Thick felt-tip pen on paper Monogrammed and dated 89 Signed 24 x 42 cm Michel was a friend, a brother. One day he told me that he needed only three colors to express himself: black, white, and red. Writing was an integral part of his work. Here is a charming example. Some have referred to Michel as the French Basquiat (1960–1988). Given the timeline, I’d rather see Basquiat as the American Macréau. Two authentic and sincere artists. One has been recognized worldwide; the other deserves to be recognized even more. The proceeds from this sale will go to a humanitarian foundation that we both held dear.
