Gallery Edition – Les bateaux by Armand Seguin – 61×44 Interior Architectural Study

Curatorial Narrative In the realm of late 19th-century avant-garde art, Armand Seguin’s “Les bateaux” (1893) occupies a pivotal position, exemplifying the artist’s pioneering technique in abstracting forms. This monochromatic painting, characterized by linear brushwork, presents an exercise in restrained elegance, where the elimination of color serves to heighten the spatial tension. The composition’s minimalist aesthetic, bereft of figurative elements, allows the viewer to focus on the intricate dance of abstract shapes, imbuing the work with a sense of modernity that was revolutionary for its time.When enlarged to 61×44 inches, “Les bateaux” assumes an architectural scale that dramatically amplifies its spatial rhythm and chromatic structure. The monochromatic palette, now more pronounced, casts a unifying atmospheric weight across the interior environment, inviting a considered approach to material pairing and lighting design. Ag
