Abstract Art - Pierre Soulages "Painting 1948-49" -

The essence of Modernism. A superb art reproduction of the work "Painting, 1948-49" by Pierre Soulages. A character piece: This period (late 1940s) marks the international rise of the artist. It showcases the raw power of the gesture: large structured black bands that frame the space, playing on the strong contrast with the light background (or walnut stain depending on the precise model). This is the "Architect" Soulages engaging with emptiness. The Object: This is an authentic vintage art print (from an art book/museum catalogue), not a simple recent digital copy. The paper is of high quality, matte/satin, offering a depth of black true to the original work. Why we love it. Historical: This is the style that brought Soulages into the MoMA in New York. A safe bet. Graphic: The composition is often vertical and very structured. It adds height and structure to a wall. The 50s spirit: This is the perfect work to accompany design furniture by Jean Prouvé, Charlotte Perriand, or a Scandinavian sideboard. The decor tip: Ideal as a "centrepiece" on a small wall, or in a duo with another work from the same period to create a graphic symmetry above a sideboard.
