Alain Le Foll

Shells and Bone (Untitled Composition)

Alain Le Foll's original lithograph Shells and Bone (Untitled Composition) was created by the French painter, printmaker and illustrator around 1975. In his lithographic art, Alain Le Foll gained an international reputation for his highly charged, surrealist imagery, combining seemingly incongruous objects to create often uncomfortable life forms. Shells and Bone (Untitled Composition) is printed on smooth, archival paper bearing the 'Arches' watermark and with full, deckled margins as published in an edition of one hundred and fifty impressions. It is signed and numbered by Alain Le Foll in pencil along the lower margin.
