James Pichette, brother of poet Henri Pichette, was a key figure in Lyrical Abstraction and Art Informel. A former Resistance fighter decorated with the Croix de Guerre, he transitioned from figurative and Cubist works to dynamic gestural abstraction around 1947. His style was deeply influenced by jazz, movement, and color—further shaped by encounters with Sam Francis and Alexander Calder in New York.

This rare 1987 signed lithograph captures the expressive power and rhythmic energy characteristic of his best work. Perfect as a standalone statement piece or paired with another Pichette (another original available on our site for a striking diptych).

Ideal for collectors of French abstract art, post-war modernism, Lyrical Abstraction, Art Informel, and works in the vein of Sam Francis or other mid-century European abstractionists. A museum-quality piece in excellent condition from a sought-after artist.
