More about this artwork

Georges Valmier's "Jeune Fille Assise" is a striking example of early 20th century abstract art, painted in 1919. This artwork invites the viewer into a complex interplay of shapes and colors, where figurative elements merge with abstract form, creating a dynamic and somewhat enigmatic composition.At first glance, the painting may seem a bewildering array of shapes, but a closer look reveals the subtle hints of a seated young woman, suggested through fragmented lines and splinters of color. The use of contrasting colors and varied textures adds depth and movement to the piece, making the figure both a part of and apart from the chaos around her.Valmier expertly uses cubist techniques to fragment the form, deconstructing the traditional representation of the human figure. This approach not only blurs the lines between the background and the figure but also challenges the viewer's perception and pushes the boundaries of conventional portraiture."Jeune Fille Assise" is a testament to Valmier's innovative style and his contribution to the Cubist movement, reflecting the shifting moods and modernist trends of the early twentieth century.

Georges Valmier (11 April 1885 – 25 March 1937) was a French painter. His work encompassed the great movements in the modern history of painting, starting with Impressionism in his early years, then Cubism which he discovered when he was around 25 years old, and finally Absstractionism from 1921. He also designed sets and costumes for theater and ballet, and models for fabrics, carpets, and other objects. His oil paintings do not exceed 300 in number, since Valmier died prematurely at the age of 51. His paintings were the culmination of many preparatory drafts in gouaches, multiple versions of which are works in themselves and reflect his penchant for colors and inventive shapes. Valmier was also a musician. He performed the works of Debussy, Ravel, Fauré, and Satie at major concerts and in churches, and had a decisive influence on the career of André Jolivet.
