LOISEL - Lot 113
LOISEL RÉGIS LOISEL Original illustration for the portfolio L'Offrande published by Ludovic Trihan in 1984. Signed. India ink and white gouache on paper 41.5 × 28.5 cm (16.34 × 11.22 in.) This drawing was produced by Régis Loisel for a portfolio of illustrations with very free subjects, printed in 730 copies in 1984. The result is this terrible scene of a rutting centaur attacking a nymph, which a small group of people try to contain despite its bestial fury. Loisel's powerful drawing style, with its sensuality, acute sense of attitude and fiery inking, is evident here. The density of the strokes is concentrated on the fantastic animal, while the small creatures defending the nymph are treated more lightly, the better to emphasize their fragility. This approach is also used for the fragile damsel.
