Note:
Dated 1962, this composition belongs to a particularly significant period in the work of Jean Le Moal, who was then fully engaged in non-figurative art. The dense texture and fragmented brushstrokes of blue, green, purple, and red create a space where light emerges directly from the color. This artistic exploration finds comparable developments in the paintings from 1962–1963, notably *Orage* and *La Mer en Bretagne*.
