A la clé qui ouvre…, 1978

Lithograph // Christian Dotremont's À la clé qui ouvre..., a lithograph from 1978, exemplifies his signature style of expressive calligraphic abstraction. Dotremont, a co-founder of the CoBrA movement, was known for his logograms—artistic scripts that blend poetry and abstract forms. In this piece, the swirling black forms, resembling a mix of letters and symbols, create a dynamic visual rhythm across the composition. The text at the bottom, partly legible, seems to evoke a poetic narrative, inviting viewers to interpret its meaning through both its visual and linguistic qualities. Limited to an edition of 25, this artwork captures the essence of Dotremont's exploration of language as both visual art and written expression, blurring the line between image and text. Show Less
