Lithograph "Woman with the unicorn", by Francis de Lassus Saint-Genies (1925 - 2018).
Numbered 192/275 and signed in pencil at the bottom right.
Francis de Lassus order SAINT-GENIES was born in Brittany in Val André in 1925. After studying at the Académie Julian in Paris, he devoted himself to portraiture for a long time. In search of the secret nature of his models, he had to approach a very personal expression where the outside world, often inverted, encloses the reflection of the individual mystery.
In a refined chromatic range SAINT-GENIES gives us its own symbols. He transmits to us a universe with sweet harmonies where everything is music. Under the spell of the Woman, he paints his "waking dreams". Its tender creatures with deer eyes, with lips offered, make you charming signs at the exit of eternal myths. A work by SAINT-GENIES is a continuous creation where every moment discovers a new appearance. The Chrysalis Queens shudder and try to abolish the animal kingdom. Unicorns have moving rumps and angel faces, Sphinxes burst their marble gangue. But the destroyed caryatids relive in an eternal kiss. SAINT-GENIES has had private and group exhibitions in France, the United States, Switzerland, Germany and Sweden. His works are in many French and foreign collections. At Editions Carrés d'Art, SAINT-GENIES illustrated "Hier et aujourd'hui", "Les Chimères" by Nerval, and "Les chansons de Bilitis" by Pierre Louÿs.
