André Brasilier Color Lithograph Portraits

This item is a framed color lithograph by the acclaimed French artist André Brasilier (born 1929). The artwork depicts a stylized portrait, likely of his wife and muse, Chantal, which is a recurring theme in his oeuvre. The composition features Brasilier's signature lyrical and dreamlike style, characterized by simplified forms, a soft color palette of muted neutral tones, and delicate linework that emphasizes poetic elegance over realism. The figure is rendered with minimalist facial features and is adorned with a floral-patterned scarf or garment, providing a subtle pop of color against the understated background. The lithograph appears to be printed on high-quality woven paper, common for mid-to-late 20th-century French printmaking. It is housed in an understated light-colored frame that complements the work's airy aesthetic. While the image quality is limited, the work demonstrates the fine craftsmanship and lithographic technique Brasilier is known for, specifically his ability to create depth through flat planes of color. Conditions issues appear minimal, though visible reflections and low lighting in the photograph make it difficult to assess for foxing or sun-fading; however, the overall composition remains distinct. This piece likely dates from the late 20th century, representing the School of Paris influence.
