The artwork, titled “A Wind of Madness” (“Un vent de folie”), was crafted by Pierre Alechinsky in 1963. It belongs to the Tachisme art movement and is an abstract creation.
The artwork features a dynamic interplay of abstract forms rendered in swirling lines and vibrant colors. Dominated by shades of green, with accents of darker hues and an arresting patch of red, the composition evokes a sense of frenetic motion and chaotic energy. Scattered across the canvas are various amorphous shapes and intricate patterns, culminating in a visual representation of disorder and intensity. The interplay of light and dark tones, coupled with the fluidity of the strokes, enhances the overall impression of madness and turmoil suggested by the title.
