About the Item

Geometric Abstraction, Op Art influence. Oil on canvas by belgium mid-century artist Pierre Mantra, dated 1970s. Mosaic-like, pointillist abstraction. Signed on the back Newly wood framed About the artist : Pierre Mantra was born in 1935 in Geneva and trained at the School of Fine Arts in his native city before moving to Paris at 17. There, he attended the academy of André Lhote and met Auguste Herbin, a pioneer of geometric abstraction who had a lasting influence on his work. From early on, he was drawn to the symbolism of forms, mathematical systems, and esoteric philosophies. In 1954, at 19, he became the youngest exhibitor at the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles, exhibiting with Maria Helena Vieira da Silva, Hans Hartung, and Victor Vasarely. Alongside his highly structured geometric period, he also developed a more vibratory body of work, composed of delicate touches and subtle optical compositions, reflecting the influence of optical and kinetic art of his time.
