Bernard Cathelin, 1990
Lithograph on paper
Created in 1990, Bouquet de Géraniums reflects Bernard Cathelin’s refined approach to color, balance, and still life composition. The work centers on a simplified floral arrangement, rendered through broad, flattened planes of warm neutrals punctuated by a vivid cluster of red and pink geraniums. A vertical black form introduces contrast and structure, anchoring the composition and emphasizing Cathelin’s sensitivity to spatial tension.
The lithograph is characterized by matte color fields, soft edges, and a deliberate economy of detail. Subtle tonal shifts and the interplay between geometry and organic form give the image a quiet, contemplative presence, consistent with Cathelin’s modernist sensibility.
Framed and presented with deckled paper edges visible.
