Summary:
Pierre Doutreleau Pencil Signed Limited Edition Color lithograph depicting a stylized New York cityscape with elongated skyscrapers and a compressed street-level perspective.
Pierre Doutreleau is a French painter born in Arles in 1938. At the age of 20, Pierre discovered the work of Nicolas de Stael and started practicing painting. Thanks to Hélèna Cingria, Pierre met Lucile Manguin, who had just opened a gallery in Paris and they signed a contract in 1964. In 1968, during a trip to the United States, Doutreleau had an artistic epiphany about the topics of speed and movement. Two main subjects are addressed in his work: mobility and fixity. At the beginning of his work, Pierre Doutreleau painted mainly motionless surfaces. He then developed an interest for cinema and television, and then for sport and athletes. His ambition is to paint movement to translate life. In order to do that he combines two ingredients: drama and pleasure.
