Bernard Aubertin — Dessin de Feu
Bernard Aubertin

Dessin de Feu

1974

A fiery and visceral work by French Nouveau Réalisme artist Bernard Aubertin, *Dessin de Feu* (Fire Drawing) exemplifies his lifelong obsession with flame as both a creative and destructive force. Aubertin used fire itself as his primary tool, allowing burning matches or ignited materials to scorch and mark the surface, transforming destruction into a meditative artistic act. The result is a raw, elemental composition where the unpredictable nature of fire becomes the artist's collaborator.
