About the artist:
Considered the founder of Lyrical Abstraction—a movement distinct from geometric abstraction in the organic style of its forms—and the organizer of the “Abstraction Lyrique” exhibition held in Paris in 1947, Georges Mathieu is best known for his large-scale paintings featuring curving calligraphic lines. Mathieu was a colorful and famous personality during his lifetime, often creating paintings during public performances, working rapidly in front of the audience. The speed of his execution was a signature component of his style, which he once described as “an orgasm of uncontrolled expression.” Mathieu also claimed to be the first to practice “Tubism”—squeezing paint directly from the tube—and the drip technique.
1950 onward, an element of Lyrical abstraction is conceptualized: tachism, which refers to paintings of Georges Mathieu, symbol of informal art, as the projection creates spots, splashes and drips. The aim is to give as much freedom to the material, by influencing their movement in a minimal manner. The aim is to paint spontaneously, furtively and without thinking things through, letting yourself evolve peacefully. It's important to detach oneself from any artistic compliance. Georges Mathieu doesn't use any tool, and goes beyond technique. He paints directly with the color tubes. The artist created several works publicly. Malraux calls him "The Western calligrapher".
Georges Mathieu did over 120 individual exhibitions during his career, especially in New-York, Montreal, Rio de Janeiro, Bahrain, Tunis, Singapore, Paris, Tokyo and in all major metropolis of the world. His creations are part of more than 79 museums and public collections. including Institute of Contemporary Arts, London (1956); the Kunstmuseum, Basel (1958) ; the São Paulo Museum of Modern Art (1960); and the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Nantes, France (1966)., as well as the Art Institute of Chicago; the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, DC; the Kunstmuseum Basel; the Kunsthaus Zurich; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Musée National d’Art Moderne, Paris; the Solomon R.
