Bonnetier

Bonnetier is an artwork by the Belgian grandmaster Pierre Alechinsky (born 1927). It embodies his signature style, which emphasizes spontaneity, movement, and the influence of oriental calligraphy.

Key Features of the Work:
Alechinsky is known for his use of recycled paper, such as old invoices, notarial deeds, and maps, as the basis for his drawings. In this particular case, the work was created on an invoice from the Manufacture Royale de Bonneterie (Royella) in Brussels. This method connects the paper's history with his modern, calligraphic style, influenced by his time with the CoBrA group and his interest in Eastern calligraphy.
