Pierre Soulages (24 December 1919 – 26 October 2022)

Pierre Soulages is considered a major figure of post-war European abstraction, alongside Hans Hartung, George Mathieu, Serge Poliakoff and Jean-Paul Riopelle.

He’s particularly renowned for his “outrenoir” (“beyond black”) series of paintings, which feature matte and glossy black fields interrupted by ridges, scores, and gashes; the artist is interested in how black paint absorbs and reflects light.

Since making his gallery debut in 1947, Soulages has exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, The Louvre and the State Hermitage Museum (he was the first living artist to show at the institution), and his work has been acquired for the collections of the Centre Pompidou, The Guggenheim, Tate Modern, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington.

Applying the paint in thick layers, Soulages’ painting technique includes using objects such as spoons, tiny rakes and bits of rubber to work away at the painting, often making scraping, digging or etching movements depending on whether he wants to evoke a smooth or rough surface. The texture that is then produced either absorbs or rejects light, breaking up the surface of the painting by disrupting the uniformity of the black.

das lustigste bei dem ask ist dass ich vorher durchgehen und mit google übersetzer testen musste um sicherzugehen dass auch richtig ankommt was ich sagen will, und dann festgestellt habe dass ich die ganzen kommas reinmachen muss damit der übersetzer besser damit klarkommt. sorry deutsche sprache ich muss leider grammatikalisch korrekt mit dir umgehen wenn andere mich gescheit verstehen sollen. curse of 1 million nebensätze also requires curse of 1 million kommas

Preferring to suspend the paintings like walls, he uses wires to hang them in the middle of the room, "I always liked paintings to be walls rather than windows. When we see a painting on a wall, it's a window, so I often put my paintings in the middle of the space to make a wall. A window looks outside, but a painting should do the opposite—it should look inside of us"

Robert Branham (1926-2013) — Composition V  [mixed media on board, 1985]

[germanpostwarmodern]

The German artist Wols (1913-51), born Alfred Otto Wolfgang Schulze in Berlin, is one of my personal favorites. His role as intermediary between the French and German art scene before, during and after WWII is fascinating, just as well as his importance for the development of the Informel in Germany. Wols' biography alone would make for a thrilling novel but his artistic development is no less interesting: although primarily associated with his late lyrical and abstract works it shouldn't be ignored that he also was a keen photographer and illustrator.

In 1989 the Kunsthaus Zürich dedicated a large retrospective to the multi-faceted work of Wols and the accompanying catalogue, published by Benteli, still remains a major reference to the artist. It collects works from all of Wols' work phases as well as expert essays elaborating on the artist's life, the qualities of his paintings and his highly individual approach towards photography. Taken together these features make the catalogue a profound and indispensable starting point for any further research into the fascinating cosmos of Wols.
