Brasilier stands among the most celebrated French painters of the post-war period, with his highly personal style that combines elements of expressionism and abstraction while maintaining figurative representation. This exceptional composition showcases the artist's lifelong fascination with horses in motion, here depicted against the dramatic backdrop of a coastal landscape. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The scene depicts a circle of riders galloping along a sandy shoreline, their forms rendered with Brasilier's characteristic simplification and dynamism. The horses and riders appear as silhouetted figures in motion, creating a sense of rhythm and movement across the canvas. Brasilier employs a distinctive color palette dominated by cobalt blues contrasted against soft pinks and sandy beiges, creating a harmonious yet bold composition. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Born in 1929 to artistic parents, Brasilier studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and won the prestigious Grand Prix de Rome in 1953. Throughout his prolific career spanning over seven decades, he has remained steadfastly dedicated to his artistic vision despite changing trends in the art world. Horses have remained a central motif throughout his oeuvre, representing freedom, beauty and the connection between humans and nature. Brasilier's works have been exhibited in prestigious galleries and museums worldwide, including a retrospective at the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg—making him, along with Pablo Picasso, the only artists to be awarded a retrospective at the renowned institution during their lifetimes. Brasilier's works, exhibited with the likes of Braque, Chagall and Miro, are celebrated worldwide and reside in prominent collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Painted 2022 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Canvas: 28 3\/4“ high x 39 1\/2” wide (73.03 x 100.33)\u003cbr\u003e Frame: 37 1\/2“ high x 47 3\/4” wide x 1 3\/4“ deep (94.62 x 121.29 x 4.43 cm)","brand":"M.S.
