Clergue, Lucien | Neverais II, 1980 — available on Composition Gallery
Signed in ink (recto), titled, dated, numbered and copyrighted (verso)
Lucien Clergue’s Neverais II (1980) is a powerful gelatin silver print that captures the intense moment of a bullfighter in mid-action, face-to-face with a charging bull. The photograph freezes a split-second of high drama and tension in the bullring, highlighting the grace and danger of the bullfighting ritual. The composition is marked by strong contrasts: the bullfighter’s elaborate costume and poised stance contrast sharply with the raw power and movement of the bull. Clergue, known for his photographic storytelling and keen eye for dramatic composition, captures the energy and emotion of the scene, inviting viewers to confront the complex, often controversial nature of bullfighting. Signed on the front and further detailed on the back, the print measures 29.5 x 39.3 cm.

What is abstract art?

What is abstract art?

Abstract art uses form, shape, line, and color to create a visual experience without attempting to represent external reality. The composition exists independently of the world's visual references, focusing on expressing ideas and emotions through non-representational means.
