Prismes-12 (1931)

We are delighted to present "Prismes-12" by Emile-Allain Séguy, a striking example of Séguy's unique fusion of natural elements with geometric design. This captivating piece illustrates the artist's profound interest in both the organic and the symmetric, creating a dazzling, harmonious interplay between the two.At the heart of this painting, a solitary bird, rendered in paler shades of blue and white, is depicted nestled amidst leaf-like structures. The calm, cool color palette evokes a sense of tranquility and elegance, while the bird itself exudes a gentle serenity. Surrounding the bird are bold, jagged prismatic forms that seem to radiate outward, creating a dynamic contrast with the soft curves of the bird and leaves.Séguy’s use of repetitive, angular lines not only emphasizes the depth and texture but also guides the viewer's eye across the canvas, inviting a deeper exploration of the intricate patterns and the subtle interplay of light and shadow. The choice of blues, from deep navy to soft azure, enhances the feeling of depth and volume, suggesting layers of meaning and interpretation."Prismes-12" is a testament to Séguy's masterful ability to blend the natural world with abstract constructs, creating compositions that are not only visually striking but also rich in symbolic resonance. This piece is sure to captivate any viewer, inviting them into a world where nature and geometry exist in perfect harmony.
