The piece
A very interesting surrealist black and white lithograph work of contemporary work of art signed by the artist, Gerald Moreno. Moreno's work is often described as "magical realism".

Inspired by Salvador Dali.

This work is titled "La Source Echevelee de la Vie" and is described by the artist on an inclusive French language printed explanation translated as:

The world that liberates the frenzied source of life, the origin of the genie of power, of the grace of happiness, by binding to the infinite creator and creates fragile Love, but oh how precious, that this fetal bond, which draws from the creation of an egg in its virginal shell, the necessary nourishing has the hatching of the eggs flesh. This liquor of life, this life, which whispers its birth in the very hollow of the fragrant mouth of this new ecstasy, under the striking gaze of gercures, already fossilizes in death.

Pencil signed and numbered.

Sold unframed. Artwork measures: 20" High x 14 1/8" Wide Photos of a recommended frame example provided upon request.

Henri Matisse
1869–1954, Le Cateau-Cambrésis, France

Born

Movement
Fauvism / Modernism

Henri Matisse was born December 31, 1869, in Le Cateau-Cambrésis, in the Picardy region of France, and died November 3, 1954, in Nice. He originally trained and worked as a law clerk before taking up painting during a convalescence, after which he abandoned law to study art in Paris.

Around 1900–1905, Matisse became the leading figure of Fauvism, a movement named for the group's use of intense, non-naturalistic color. He continued to work across painting, sculpture, printmaking, and later paper cut-outs for the rest of his career.
