Through a series of precisely constructed circles, ellipses and intersecting lines, the artist investigates balance, movement and proportion with remarkable economy of means. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhile many of these studies informed later reliefs and sculptures, the drawing also stands as an autonomous work in its own right. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrancis Dusépulchre (1934–2013) was a self-taught Belgian painter and sculptor who moved, around 1969, from an early surrealist figuration toward minimalist, constructed abstraction. The critic Robert Rousseau dubbed him a 'shadow-shower' for the way he let incisions and taut threads catch and release light across his panels. His monumental integrations can be found at Le Grand-Hornu and the Musée de Mariemont. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedium: Graphite pencil on paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDate: n.d.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 455 × 375 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis artwork forms part of the maurice verbaet collection and can be viewed in our showroom at Volkstraat 58, Antwerp.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"maurice verbaet collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58038998204799,"sku":"MV_024_Dusépulchre_untitled_7931","price":1100.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/2307\/2055\/files\/2E6A2975.jpg?v=1785148171","url":"https:\/\/immodome-objects.be\/products\/francis-dusepulchre-2","provider":"Immodôme Objects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
