Jean Cocteau La Nappe du Catalan Abstract Art Print – 1952 Mid-Century Wall Decor

This striking 1952 print, "La Nappe du Catalan" (The Catalan Tablecloth), is a classic example of the whimsical Neo-Primitivism championed by the celebrated French artist, Jean Cocteau. It depicts a dynamically posed, abstracted figure rendered in a bold black outline, filled with organic, blotchy ochre and brown washes, all set against a subtly textured, vintage beige ground. This piece is ideal for adding character and color to a minimalist living room, a sophisticated home office, or even a brightly lit hallway where its playful energy can be appreciated daily.
