Hommage à Georges Brassens is a color lithograph executed in 1988 by Robert Combas — the founding figure of Figuration Libre and one of the most celebrated, prolific, and culturally significant French artists of his generation — signed, dated, and numbered 156/350, and presented framed in very good overall condition.

Robert Combas holds a position of absolute centrality in the history of French contemporary art. Born in Lyon in 1957 and emerging onto the international art scene in the early 1980s as the driving force behind Figuration Libre — the French movement that broke decisively with the austerity of conceptual art and minimalism in favor of a return to raw, energetic, and deliberately popular figuration — Combas developed a visual language of extraordinary vitality, chromatic exuberance, and narrative density, drawing simultaneously on the visual cultures of rock music, comic books, graffiti, naïve art, and the great traditions of French popular song. His work is held in the permanent collections of the Centre Pompidou, the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris, and major institutions across Europe and beyond.

The work is in very good overall condition.
