The artwork titled “Entre deux villes” was created by the artist Zao Wou-Ki in 1955. It belongs to the Art Informel movement and is categorized within the abstract genre.
The artwork presents a textured and somewhat ethereal aesthetic, characterized by its abstract composition. Two distinct rectangular sections dominate the scene, filled with intricate markings and forms. The predominant background features a muted, earthy tone reminiscent of terracotta. Within these rectangular sections, the artist employs a complex interplay of lines, splashes of color, and calligraphic elements that give an impression of dynamic movement and depth. These patterns create an impression of a landscape or cityscape viewed through a hazy, abstracted lens, embodying the essence of the title “Entre deux villes,” or “Between Two Cities.” The artwork evokes a sense of contemplation and invites the viewer to explore the subtle intricacies embedded within its abstract forms.
