Revue Art de France
Pierre Soulages or the "painter of black" as he is often referred to, has rightfully become one of the key international figures of post-war abstraction. Since the 1940s, Soulages has been known as one of the leaders of what was then a new group of purely abstract painters known as the Ecole de Paris. For over seventy years now, Soulages has been systematically exploring the material properties of paint, pushing the boundaries of the power of expression contained within the medium. In his early work primarily dating from the early to late 1940s Soulages utilized a variety of media including walnut stain and tar which proved to be moderately successful for endeavors, however, it was not until the 1950s when he began painting with oil on canvas, and more specifically, black oil paint on canvas that he was really able to tackle his investigation with thorough execution. Soulages became transfixed with black paint, using it almost exclusively in the following decades of his career up until today. "I was always interested in black, even as a child," Soulages once stated, "I used black paint and when someone asked what I was painting I said 'snow'. I think with hindsight that I used black to make the paper look more white" (Claire Rosemberg. "Black is the new black for Pierre Soulages, France's best known living artist." The Telegraph [London] 14 October 2009). For Soulages, black is not only a color, but it is also and almost more importantly a non-color; meaning that unlike most other pigments, it contains all colors within it making it the most versatile hue that can change dramatically with light.
Along with his use of black paint, Soulages' almost poetic mark-making and the formal play he creates within his compositions, imbues his paintings with an ethereal and ultimately existential quality. The sweeping and almost forceful planar brushstrokes are evocative of an American counterpart, Franz Kline. Yet, unlike Kline, Soulages' initial application of paint and further manipulation of the surface work together to form his dramatic compositions. Often Soulages would make and use his own painting implements or tools, including homemade brushes and palette knives to his own invention, a flat rubber spatula type tool known as a lame. With this these tools, Soulages would apply broad and dense layers of paint that he would then adjust by scraping, digging and etching into, resulting in a surface which brilliantly articulates a space of tension created by the play between light and dark, space and absence and the passing of time.

- 27 Living Paintings - Colour PochoirBy (after) Sonia DelaunayLocated in Collonge Bellerive, Geneve, CHFull-page, colour pochoir of costume designs after Sonia Delaunay's watercolors Edition 331/500 copies on Velin Aussedat Dimensions: 28.5 x 19.5 cm. From 27 Living Paintings. [Milano, Edizioni del Naviglio, 1969]. Jacques Damase. Robes Poèmes, Introduction. Text by Guillaume Apollinaire and Blaise Cendrars. Sonia Delaunay was known for her vivid use of color and her bold, abstract patterns, breaking down traditional distinctions between the fine and applied arts as an artist, designer and printmaker. Born Sarah Stern on November 14, 1885 in Gradizhsk, Ukraine, she was adopted in 1890 by her maternal uncle, Henri Terk, a lawyer in St. Petersburg, where she grew up, exposed to music and art, and learning several foreign languages. In 1903, she moved to Germany to study drawing with Ludwig Schmidt-Reutler (1863–1909) at the Karlsruhe academy of fine arts; Arnold Schoenberg (1874–1951), composer-to-be, was among her classmates there. In 1905, she traveled to Paris where she attended art classes at the Académie de la Palette, learned printmaking from Rudolf Grossman (1889–1941), and met Amédée Ozenfant (1886–1966), André Dunoyer de Segonzac (1884–1974), and Jean-Louis Boussingault (1883–1943). Sonia spent much of her time at exhibitions and galleries in Paris, which showed works by Paul Cézanne, Vincent Van Gogh, Pierre Bonnard, and Edouard Vuillard, as well as Les Fauves, Henri Matisse and André Derain. She did, however, maintain contact with Germany, exhibiting at the Galerie Der Sturm, Berlin, in 1913, 1920 and 1921. During her first year in Paris, Sonia met the German collector and art-dealer, Wilhelm Uhde (1874–1947), whom she married on December 5, 1908, and whose Montparnasse gallery, the Galerie Notre-Dame des Champs, showed her first solo exhibition. Through Uhde, Sonia encountered many painters, including Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Maurice de Vlaminck, and Robert Delaunay (1885–1941). In 1910, Sonia divorced Uhde by mutual agreement, married Delaunay that same year, and gave birth to their son, Charles, in January 1911. Together Sonia and Robert Delaunay pursued the study of color, influenced by theories of Michel-Eugène Chevreul (1786–1889). Sonia’s interest in simultaneous contrast, as evidenced in her early collages, book bindings, small painted boxes...Category
