About this artwork
Titled “August” in French, this work is rendered in oil on canvas, distinguishing itself from Assadour’s typical style primarily through the incorporation of a non-geometrical figure positioned at the centre, enclosed within a circle. Surrounding this central fig- ure are shapes resembling two tears suspended in space amidst abstract forms. Like many of his other works, the composition is divided into two distinct parts: a depiction of the sky or cosmos above, and a landscape below. These shapes are meticulously crafted from multiple lines, painted with a consistent palette. Placing this work created in the early 1970s in comparison with more recent works highlights the evolution of Assadour’s work with time.
