Léon Zack (1892-1980) Composition 1960 Oil on canvas signed and dated lower right 54 x 65 cm Condition report: Framed "I came to non-figurative painting through a slow but logical evolution. While other painters took the path of non-figurative painting, wishing to liberate it from all shackles, I was guided rather by a concern to deepen it," Léon Zack confided to Jean Grenier in 1963. "I came to understand that the figurative element was by no means essential to my expression; on the contrary, it got in the way."
