Description
"Pierre SOULAGES – Noir Lumière". Published by Silvana, 2019. In mint condition, in blister pack.
"I love black – its authority, its depth, its clarity, its uncompromising nature. ” (Pierre Soulages)
. Soulages’ decisive shift towards the colour black took place in the 1950s, when he systematically refocused his formal and chromatic universe on black. His works form part of a European context of redefinition and avant-garde innovation, marked by influences ranging from American Abstract Expressionism to Art Informel, via Asian ink painting.
The works from the 1950s reveal Soulages’s intense engagement with gesture and colour, against a backdrop of paradigmatic references to contemporary artists and friends, notably Hans Hartung, Sam Francis and Zao Wou-Ki.
