Roger Lersy: A twentieth century French
painter, lithographer and composer of classical music, Roger Lersy studied
at both the School of Applied Arts, Paris, and at the Paris Conservatoire.
He held his first exhibition in Paris in 1946. During the following years
his art was also exhibited in London, Geneva, Los Angeles, Houston and
New York. Roger Lersy won such awards as the Prix des Amateurs d'Art (1953)
and the Prize of the City of Marseille (1955). The artist also illustrated
a number of fine art books with his original graphics, such as, Bestiaire (1968)
and Multiforms (1977). |

Lersy's work can roughly be divided into two periods of artistic
experimentation. Before 1960 the artist concentrated mostly upon forms
of representational art, particularly still-life and landscape. Afterwards
his work shifted to forms of abstract expression. As one can see in such
as composition as Untitled Abstract, the non-representational
use of line, color, form and (most importantly) movement strongly link
his visual art to his music. |

In order to more fully explore Abstract Expressionism Roger
Lersy spent long periods of time in New York between 1961 and 1968. This
large, original lithograph was probably created in that city during this
decade. |
