About the Item

French artist Etienne Poirier (1919-2002) designed this stunning modernist drawing. This work is a charcoal-on-paper composition depicting a proud rooster. This composition is minimalist, as only a few lines create the design. The minimalist interpretation has lots of intensity and presence. The Atelier stamp is on the bottom right corner. A contemporary frame with white liner and acrylic glass protection finished the piece. Please also check our storefront for more drawings from this artist.

    By Judith Brown
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Judith Brown (December 17, 1931 – May 11, 1992) was a dancer and a sculptor who was drawn to images of the body in motion and its effect on the cloth surrounding it. She welded crushed automobile scrap metal into energetic moving torsos, horses, and flying draperies. Brown attended Sarah Lawrence College in Yonkers, New York (B.A., 1954), where she learned to weld from her teacher, Theodore Roszak, a pioneering abstract expressionist sculptor. This is done in a style similar to Leonard Baskin.
