André Lanskoy’s Compositions of the late 1950s and early 1960s are works by a celebrated artist who carved out a niche for himself in post-war abstract art.
Once he had, for the first time ever, abandoned figurative painting in the late 1930s under the influence of works produced by Kandinsky and Klee, Lanskoy focused single-mindedly on abstraction over the next decade. He worked hard, seeking and constantly perfecting a method of his own, one that differed both from the geometrical constructs of the Russian avant-garde and from European Analytical Cubist output. The artist saw the colour in light as being paramount in his works.
This was the first, crucial element around which everything else was organised – the drawing, the composition and the rhythm. Lanskoy’s light in colour has been compared repeatedly to the coloured shadows and flashes that burst into flame when encountering the sun’s rays refracted in the stained-glass windows of mediaeval cathedrals. The critic Jean Granier even wrote that Lanskoy’s colours are varied, but they are nearly always as cold as glass and only warm up when applied by his personal touch.
As time passed, sensuality and emotion became increasingly prominent in his compositions. The artist applied cadmium and cobalt hues, azure and brilliant greens to the surface of the canvas in chaotic, pastose stripes and planes, using a table onto which he squeezed out his paints as a palette. This creative method ultimately led art historians to acknowledge the special phenomenon of French Lyrical Abstractionism, a fellow traveller and rival of American Abstract Expressionism.
The works presented belong precisely to this French movement, of which Lanskoy is regarded as one of the founding fathers.
