Sweeping black gestures rush across a field of white in this untitled etching, creating an arresting rhythm of light and dark. Kristine Tissier (1928–2010)—a French abstract painter and printmaker trained at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts in Paris—was known for gestural abstraction, rich textures, and dynamic black-and-white compositions, all of which find exquisite expression in this work. The composition’s bold, flowing strokes and layered tonal contrasts lend it a refined yet visceral presence—each mark a testament to Tissier’s masterful balance of spontaneity and control.
