Concrete Art
Asse, Geneviève
Entre la lumière. 2002. Drypoint and aquatint in blue on firm, slightly textured vellum. 24.8 x 17.7 cm (49.8 x 33 cm). Signed and numbered. Mounted at points on backing. – Slightly dusty in places; small pencil annotation on the reverse; overall in very good condition and exceptionally beautiful. An excellent print from three copper plates, with clearly embossed plate edges and a wide margin, featuring the artist’s mark on the right.
Not listed in Mason. – One of 24 copies. – As one of the pioneering French artists of colour-field painting, Asse developed an increasingly abstract formal language from the 1960s onwards, culminating in her characteristic ‘Asse Blue’. She employs it across the entire surface of her compositions, which invite the viewer to immerse themselves in the blue infinity. The artist’s source of inspiration is her childhood memories of the sky, the ocean and the horizon of the Rhuys Peninsula, the place on the French Atlantic coast where she grew up. A vertical line usually runs through the blue in her compositions; like a strip opening up on the horizon, it opens the infinite coastline onto the infinite vault of the sky.

She employs this in her compositions to invite the viewer to immerse themselves in endless blue. The artist draws her inspiration from childhood memories of the sky, the ocean and the horizon of the Rhuys Peninsula, a place on the French Atlantic coast where she grew up. A vertical line usually runs through the blue in her compositions, like a strip of light on the horizon, opening up the infinite coastline to the infinite vault of the sky.
