VERY BEAUTIFUL ARTIST'S PROOF ON ARCHES PAPER SIGNED "CASTEX" FOR JACQUES CASTEX - ETCHING MADE IN THE 1980S - ABSTRACT INSPIRED - BEAUTIFUL MODERN FRAMING - VERY GOOD GENERAL CONDITION - SIZE OF THE SHEET 50 X 65 CM Jacques Castex is a French painter and engraver born May 25, 1927 in Paris 15th and died October 15, 2012 in Paris 17th1 One of Castex's research is focused mainly on the study of the refraction and decomposition of light in primary colors. The “Light Analyzes” with dominant blue and red colors analyze this latter phenomenon by organizing it on horizontal-vertical axes. These are therefore not abstract works, but creations based on a physical phenomenon (decomposition of light), directly observable in "the flexible Prism". They are made by screen printing (silk screen printing) because this process allows several colors to be printed at once. Their mixture on the screen produces particularly rich gradients. In fact, the inks are not, as in typography or lithography, transferred to the paper by a printing surface (plate, zinc or stone) but deposited directly on the paper through the silk screen.
