Signed lithograph from 1973, with art done by Bernard Cathelin, made as a greeting card.

He was a French painter and lithographer celebrated for his richly textured, color-saturated works that blend modern abstraction with poetic simplicity. A member of the School of Paris, Cathelin developed a distinctive style characterized by bold blocks of color, flattened forms, and a lyrical approach to composition. Cathelin's artistic style is often associated with figurative and colorful expressionism.

His art included oil paintings, lithographs, and tapestries, often depicting still lifes, floral arrangements, landscapes, and portraits of women. His work is renowned for its thick palette knife applications and vibrant color palettes, creating stylized abstractions that evoke emotional depth. Recurring motifs include the landscapes of the Drôme region in France, where his mother originated, as well as scenes inspired by his travels to Mexico, Japan, Russia, and other countries.

The title of the lithograph is “A clearing at Ceylon” (Sri Lanka)

Framed with a black antique frame with a narrow silver inner edge.
