*Jean FAUTRIER (1898 - 1964) - Hostage aux mains I - Etching - Lot 44
*Jean FAUTRIER (1898 - 1964) - Hostage aux mains I - Etching, aquatint and embossing in color on Vélin d'Auvergne - Signed in pencil in the lower right-hand margin and justified XI/XXV - 37 x 52 cm - Engelberts: 1944/8 - Mason: 251,II - Traces of moisture on the edges of the paper.
Note: Fautrier's Les Otages marked the rebuilding of French cultural life after the Liberation. With the presentation and failure - let's face it - of Picasso's Charnier, these small format series caused a sensation in the large rooms of René Drouin's premises. As a sign of redemptive rupture for a society on the rebound, they divided opinion.
