Thinking outside of the box, Arman incorporates an unlikely pairing in this spectacular work: the violin and the paintbrush. The colorful paintbrushes tilt and turn, relaying a sense of frenetic motion, as if they are in the process of painting the violin. |

| Historical Description: | |
Executed in a vibrant hues of blue, orange, and red, Arman conveys an unlikely pairing of images, that of the paintbrush and the violin. Drawing upon the oratory and visual senses, this work entrances the viewer with its multitude of layers. Capturing the energy and movement needed to play the violin, Arman displays the instrument from varied perspectives which turn and oscillate against the picture plain. The bright oranges, blues, and reds of the paintbrushes pop out against the black background; these brushes, tilted in all directions, appear as if hastily at work, creating a visual representation of the musical instrument, the violin. Frankrike represents Arman's long held fascination with the violin, the artist adeptly captures both the solidity of the instrument and the emotional range of the music which it produces. This original monotype silkscreen on canvas is hand signed by Fernandez Arman (Nice, 1928 – New York, 2005) in brown ink in the lower right.

Biography of Arman
Arman (1928 - 2005)
Armand Fernandez. French born sculptor who settled in New York in 1963 and became an American citizen in 1972. He was born in Nice and studied briefly in Paris at the Ecole des Arts Decoratifs and the Ecole du Louvre. In 1957, with his friend Yves Klein, he decided to be known by his first name only, and the form 'Arman' was adopted in 1958 as the result of a printer's error on the cover of a catalogue. Like Klein, he was interested in Japanese culture, particularly Zen Buddhism, and (again like Klein) he worked for a time as a judo instructor. In the early 1960s Arman gained a reputation as one of the leading exponents of Nouveau Réalisme and he is best known for his assemblages of junk material. These range from modest collections of household debris (Accumulation of Sliced Teapots, Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, 1964) to a huge tower (about 20 meters high) of 60 automobiles embedded in cement (Long-Term Parking, Cartier Museum, jouy-en-josas, 1982).
