A certificate of authenticity from Catherine Prassinos, the artist's daughter, will be given to the buyer.
From 1951, when Mario Prassinos bought a house in Eygalières, Provence, he made drawings of the hillside opposite his home. This series, entitled “Alpilles”, was completed in the late 1970s.
The artist's choice of limited means: strokes and dots that enter into a dance of signs reminiscent of calligraphy.
In a text devoted to his work on the hill of Eygalières, Mario Prassinos deliberately limited his means to dots and lines.
For art critic Michel Ragon, Mario Prassinos' work is in the vein of “Abstract Landscapes”, a term that brings together artists as dissimilar as James Guitet, Zao Wou-KI, Arpad Szenes, Christine Boumeester and Jean Messagier, both in their inspiration and in their representation of it.
