Composition is an original oil pastels drawing on paper, realized in 1970 by the French artist Jean Pons (1913- 2005). This contemporary artwork, signed and dated on the front and on the lower margin at the center, reports autograph notes (a greeting message) of the author on the back. Representing three male portraits or masks, this original drawing is sketched through a synthetic lines and Fauves colors. In excellent condition, with irregular margins, the beauty of this drawing is in its phosphorescent colors. Likely the greeting message is to the Countess A.L. Pecci-Blunt. Jean Pons (Paris, 1913 -2005) Born in Paris on the eve of the First World War, in 1913, Jean Pons will be a pupil of the Parisian Estienne school. In 1938 he founded a lithography atelier which will be attended by the artists of the École de Paris, including Russian painters such as Nicolas de Staël, Lanskoy, Charchoune, Poliakoff, Delaunay, Kandinsky, Zadkine . At the beginning Expressionist and Fauvist, Jean Pons creates still lifes, landscapes, and portraits, and then evolved in the 48's towards abstraction, built on the straight line and the angle, adopting collage and mixed techniques. ''I came to abstraction for the sake of risk,'' wrote the artist in 1986. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
