Composition 106 (Fond gris-vert, tache rose)
1953
A luminous grid of muted, earthy tones is punctuated by a soft rose accent in this meditative abstract composition by Roger Bissière. The gray-green ground is built up through a mosaic-like arrangement of small, textured brushstrokes that evoke both stained glass and organic matter. The delicate interplay of color and surface creates a quiet, contemplative rhythm characteristic of Bissière's lyrical approach to abstraction.
