EXHIBITED
Galerie Simon Blais, Montreal, Yves Gaucher : Profile 1957 - 1996 / 40 Years of Printmaking, October - November 1996, same image


Made after the original canvas of the same title, this silkscreen print is from a series of hand printed contemporary art reproductions by Peter Markgraf produced in the late 1960s at the request of the Canada Council for the Arts. However, Markgraf could not achieve the visual impact that was expected from the original Op Art painting using only the regular silkscreen inks. Therefore, he requested the help of the artist, and Gaucher worked at achieving the optical effect that the original painting possesses. In turn, he considered the results as originals in their own right, of which only a few copies are signed.

Créée d’après la toile originale du même titre, cette sérigraphie fait partie d’une collection de reproductions d’œuvres d’art contemporain imprimées à la main par Peter Markgraf vers la fin des années 1960 à la demande du Conseil des Arts du Canada. Toutefois, l’imprimeur n’a pas été en mesure d’atteindre l’impact visuel d’une œuvre d’Op art comme celle-ci, en utilisant seulement les encres de sérigraphies régulières. Il a donc demandé de l’aide de l’artiste. Ainsi, Gaucher a travaillé pour obtenir le même effet optique que détient l’œuvre originale. C’est pourquoi il considère cette estampe comme une œuvre originale de sa main, dont seulement quelques exemplaires sont signés.
