Photogram, featuring abstract composition, signed and attt. Roger Catherineau (French, 1925-1962), 8.9 x 7.1 inch (22.7 x 18 cm), Born in 1925 in Tours, France, and educated in the mediums of painting and drawing, as well as photography, Roger Catherineau championed photographic expressionism. Catherineau created photographs and photograms concurrent with the development of Abstract Expressionism, yet with his premature death in 1962, his innovative body of work and his career had gone largely unnoticed until its rediscovery by the historian Christian Bouqueret in the early 1990s.
