a RARE and quite magnificent vintage 1960s handmade copper enamel modernist Sailboat and Seagulls artwork by the artistic duo Micheline de Passillé and Yves Sylvestre of Quebec Canada. The design is at-once both abstract and figurative as the various shapes form overall a sailboat among waves, and with three seagulls aloft beside the yacht! So unique and no doubt a one of a kind and impressive artwork! The couple were more experimental in their early days, and that is seen clearly in this artwork. There are layers overlaid on layers of enamel, some with raised edges which you can clearly feel when running your fingers over the enamel, particularly with the black and red enamel sections. No doubt the enamel was painted on, and built up over successive layers very similar to the impasto technique in painting. De Passilé-Sylvestre started their business in 1960 by making one of a kind enamel artworks and jewelry in enamel on copper. (See my last photo for an image of the couple at one of their installation exhibitions in their early days.) A true collectors prize! Measures 9-3/4" diameter by 1-1/4" high at rim. Excellent vintage condition.
