Totem is a 1964 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
The painting depicts two women, one wearing a black swimsuit and a matching head covering, while the other is dressed in a white swimsuit with a bow tied at the back of her head. The woman in black is positioned on the left side of the image, facing to the right, with her head turned towards the viewer. In contrast, the woman in white is situated on the right side, facing away from the viewer. The background of the painting is a plain white surface, which serves to accentuate the figures of the two women. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance, with the bold lines and stark colors creating a striking visual impact. This painting is reminiscent of the work of the artist Carven.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
