Jean-Pierre Aubert’s “Arc des Fleurs,” a 1970s serigraph print (78/200), showcases vibrant stylized blooms in rich color under a graceful arch, exemplifying mid-20th century French graphic artistry; ideal for collectors seeking bold floral modern prints.
Artwork Description
This striking serigraph titled Arc des Fleurs depicts a profusion of stylized flowers rendered in bold primary and secondary colors within a structured, arch-like composition. Executed as a limited edition serigraph in the 1970s, the piece blends graphic precision with decorative exuberance. The floral arrangement bursts from a central vase, its simplified forms and flat planes of color echoing mid-century modern and pop influences, while the surrounding geometric arch frames the floral motif with architectural clarity. Printed on paper with evident foxing around the margins, the work measures approximately 24×35 inches and bears the artist’s signature at lower right and edition notation “78/200” at lower left. The vibrant palette and layered shapes suggest a celebration of nature through disciplined design and printmaking mastery.
Artist Biography Jean-Pierre Aubert is a French artist born October 18, 1942, in Saintes, Charente-Maritime, France, into a family with artistic lineage; his father, Pierre-Eugène Aubert, was an engraver. He studied art in France, absorbing classical training alongside graphic and print techniques. According to institutional records for artists of similar name, a Jean Aubert was historically a painter, printmaker, and lithographer trained under Paul Delaroche and Achille Martinet in Paris, establishing a tradition of technical excellence in printmaking that the younger Aubert builds upon.
Jean-Pierre’s practice encompasses serigraphy (silk screening), print design, and graphic imagery, often marked by vibrant color and formal clarity. His works from the 1960s–1970s reveal influences of contemporary decorative arts and mid-century graphic design, fusing natural themes with bold composition. Although less documented in major museum catalogs than some contemporaries, Aubert’s works have appeared in galleries and private collections across Europe and the United States, appreciated for their decorative impact and print execution.
