About this work
Overview
Vert et blanc is a work by Carven, created around 1958. It is a sketch showing a woman wearing a long, olive-green coat and is held at the Museum of Ethnography.
Subject & Meaning
The title Vert et blanc, meaning 'green and white' in French, is somewhat misleading as the coat depicted is only green. The sketch may represent an initial design concept.
Technique & Style
The drawing appears to be a quick, rough sketch, with a loose rendering of the coat alongside the figure. This suggests a spontaneous and possibly exploratory approach to the design.
Artist & collection
Artist
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
