Experience the Poetic Abstraction of Alfred Manessier
Introduce a touch of spiritual mid-century abstraction to your correspondence with this exclusive pack of 10 postcards featuring -12° - 1956 by Alfred Manessier. A central figure in the Nouvelle École de Paris, Manessier was renowned for his ability to translate the intangible—spirituality, light, and the shifting climate—into a language of vibrant, structured abstraction.
The 1956 masterpiece, -12°, captures the crystalline stillness and structural rhythm of a frigid winter day. Through a sophisticated interplay of cool tones and geometric fracturing, Manessier evokes the sensory experience of extreme cold rather than a literal depiction of it. These A6 postcards (10.5 x 14.8 cm) are not merely stationery; they are tactile encounters with art history, meticulously curated by RedKalion for the discerning collector.
