Ink on Arches Paper
- Hand signed unique original work
Composition géométrique by Geneviève Claisse, created around 1970, is a precise and minimalistic ink drawing on Arches paper that highlights Claisse’s mastery in geometric abstraction. The composition features a series of meticulously drawn parallel lines that intersect and diverge at sharp angles, creating a dynamic pattern of zigzagging and diagonal forms. The lines, primarily in black and blue ink, vary in thickness, enhancing the visual depth and rhythm of the piece. Claisse's work often explores the interplay of space, form, and line, and this piece exemplifies her ability to evoke movement and tension through minimal elements. The composition draws the viewer's eye across the paper, offering a sense of order and harmony while simultaneously engaging the mind with its complexity. Hand-signed by the artist, this unique work reflects Claisse's commitment to formalism and her deep influence on the geometric abstraction movement.
Geneviève Claisse (France, 1935–2018) was a prominent geometric abstract painter. Influenced by her great-uncle, Auguste Herbin, she developed a style characterized by pure forms and vibrant colors. Claisse's work is celebrated for its formal purity and meticulous execution, contributing significantly to the geometric abstraction movement.
InkInk is a colored liquid or paste used for writing, drawing, painting, and printing. The term also refers to the process of applying ink to mark, cover, stain, draw, or trace over pencil lines. Ink can be applied using various tools, such as pens, brushes, and quills.

There is a deep investigation around each piece. I always paint from real models.
- Geneviève Claisse
Geneviève Claisse (b. 1935 France, d. 2018 France) was a prominent French artist known for her contributions to geometric abstraction. A student and niece of the painter Auguste Herbin, Claisse quickly established herself as a leading figure in the post-war abstract art scene. Her work is characterized by its precision, clarity, and the use of vibrant colors and clean geometric shapes. Claisse's compositions often explore the interplay between form and space, creating a sense of movement and rhythm through meticulously balanced arrangements. Her dedication to the principles of abstraction and her ability to infuse her work with both dynamism and harmony have made her one of the key figures in 20th-century French abstract art.
Geometric abstraction is a form of abstract art that uses geometric shapes arranged in a non-illusionistic space (though not always) and combined into non-representational (non-objective) compositions. Based on years of artistic research, some artists have proposed that geometric abstraction offers a solution to modern challenges by rejecting traditional illusionistic practices in favor of clarity and simplicity.
