Modern charcoal drawing by Pierre St Sorny of a boat in dry dock
Discover this original charcoal work by French artist Pierre St Sorny (1901-1983), depicting a boat in dry dock in a modernist style. This large black and white drawing features a bold geometric composition and a remarkable mastery of chiaroscuro. Ideal for fans of 20th-century modern art, contemporary drawing or stylized harbor scenes, this signed work perfectly illustrates St Sorny's artistic approach, between masterful abstraction and architectural figuration.
Born in Brussels, Pierre Saint-Sorny was surrounded by art from an early age. He entered the Brussels Academy of Fine Arts at the age of 18. Attracted by light and color, in 1976 the artist decided to settle with his wife in Provence. Exhibited at the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire de Provence in 2002, under the title La Provence de Pierre Saint-Sorny, the artist donated most of his Provencal work to the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire de Provence in Grasse.
