A watercolour depicting a stylised bird in flight, executed with fluid, expressive brushwork and a simplified arrangement of form. The composition reflects Carnero’s early engagement with colour, line and abstraction, balancing gestural freedom with a strong underlying structure.
Carlos Carnero (1922–1980) was a Uruguayan-born artist who settled in Paris in the 1940s. He studied under André Lhote before joining the atelier of Fernand Léger, whose influence, alongside that of Picasso and Miró, informed his early figurative work. By the 1960s, Carnero moved towards abstraction and became associated with the Parisian Tachisme movement.
