The artwork, titled “Page of the Universal Atlas, VIII. Sacred Geography,” is created by Pierre Alechinsky. This piece belongs to the “Cartographic Art” and “Neo-Expressionism” art movements, and it is part of the “Universal Atlas” series. The artwork is of a figurative genre.
The artwork presents a complex and densely packed composition with a series of interwoven and overlapping figures. It features a variety of forms and shapes, which appear to be a mix of abstract and figurative elements. The use of dark, bold lines defines the contours of the various entities depicted, creating a sense of movement and intensity. Notable within the artwork are distinct figures that suggest anthropomorphic qualities, blending animalistic and human traits. The background consists of more intricate patterns that evoke a sense of layered geography, consistent with the theme of the series. The colors, though muted, add depth and texture to the overall composition, highlighting Pierre Alechinsky’s unique style and contribution to the Cartographic Art and Neo-Expressionist movements.
