Anita de Caro
During the week dedicated to modern and contemporary art in Paris
from October 20 to 24, we continue to enhance the awareness of
foreign artists who came to Paris in the Thirties, combining them with
those of the Parisian scene, when new artistic paths took their full
significance in the immediate post-war.
In the spotlight : the American painter Anita de
Caro who represents the link between the Modernism of the
New York School and the European avant-gardes.
She will be close together with her artist friends of the Fifties :
Jean Bazaine, Jean Bertholle, Véra Pagava, Geer van Velde,
Claude Vénard and Olivier Debré.
Ten works in total, reflecting the diversity of practices of these
painters, including five by Anita de Caro - paintings and
wooden sculptures - who captivated spirit of joint
researches and abandonment of all form of nationalism.

Anita de Caro
Lyrical abstraction
IMAGINARY CITY
For Anita de Caro, the conflict between abstract and
figuratve is obsolete, just as it was for her friends :
Manessier, Bazaine, Viera da Silva.
Evocation of legendary cities, her compositions are
constructed by juxtaposition of brushstrokes of color, in
transparency or by layers of paint, revealing in some
parts the naked canvas.
The line is forgotten in the modulations of color and
of light.

Cosmogonie
throw of the dice
She reaches another dimension from her canvas
towards the poetry, when a new edition of Throw of the
dice, took the Mallarme’s graphic innovation into
account. The artist animates her canvas with a dynamic
movement, translating the prismatic dimension of the
idea.
The brushstrokes confront each other in a carefully
controlled organization of space, shade and light.
The canvas and the artist are brought together in the
universal movement:
It is the period of cosmogony. in search of harmony and
of random. she lets the components of her canvas get in
to conflict. Pretext for an experimention on the
space, and especially color. *André Deligne

1966 the apparition of figures
The apparition of figures seems to be a return to the
founding moment of painting according to Pline the
Elder : in his story of a Corinthian girl, who, before the
departure of her fiancé who was going to war, has fixed
on the wall, using a charcoal, according to the contours of
his shadow, the shape of her beloved.
From there, the development of pagan and Christian
murals. Recapturing the spirit of Sinopie, Anita de Caro
has absorbed in her larges canvases the imprint of forms
captured when they turn away, the disappearance of the
visible

At the same time Anita de Caro explores various
techniques associated with the theme of Throw of the dice
She produced a richly diverse body of work exemplified
by his poetic assemblages of found objects .
From the surface of paintings-Sinopie, from the space of
the canvas where the thoughts of the collage are
enrolled, the sculptures break away.
they seem to try, in a supreme seizing of the visible, to
bring this testimony into favor of the invisible which is the
reason for being of Anita de Caro’s paintings...

Bucher, Claude Bernard and Maeght (1958). She participated in

She explored a broad range of formal and expressive directions,
including heightening the breakdown between drawing, painting
and sculpture.
