About this work
Overview
Simoun is a design sketch created by Carven around 1959, currently held at the Museum of Ethnography.
Subject & Meaning
The sketch depicts a woman wearing a simple, modern coat with a high collar and large pockets, accompanied by a flat drawing of the coat's back. The clean lines and minimal detail emphasize the garment's modernity.
Technique & Style
The artist's use of straightforward lines and lack of embellishment convey a sense of modern design. The signature 'Simoun' in the corner is the only notable deviation from the otherwise austere presentation.
Artist & collection
Artist
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
