Created in 1978, Femme Verte ("Green Woman") is a powerful and vibrant example of Bengt Lindström’s myth-infused neo-expressionism. Dominating the sheet with emerald and forest green tones, dynamic black contours, and vivid red accents, the composition evokes a primal Nordic earth deity or totem.
Printed by the prestigious Atelier Clot, Bramsen & Georges and published by Jacques Putman, this piece highlights the highest standards of French art printmaking combined with raw CoBrA movement energy.
Hand-signed and inscribed in silver pencil by Bengt Lindström, offering supreme authenticity and prestigious provenance.
