    Don’t miss the Georges Mathieu retrospective at the @monnaiedeparis! The exhibition ‘Geste, Vitesse, Mouvement’ in collaboration with @centrepompidou and curated by Christian Briend, Eric de Chassey, and Béatrice Coullaré showcases works by one of the most distinctive French artists of the second half of the 20th century. As controversial as he was celebrated during his lifetime, Georges Mathieu’s significance is now being rediscovered. The impressive work ‘Les Nymphes de Diane’, originally created for the grand staircase of the Monnaie de Paris and inspired by an opera by Rameau, is returning to its original location for the first time since 1971. In the Guillaume Dupré Salon d’honneur, the exhibition opens with three monumental paintings, shown publicly for the first time since their recent acquisition into national collections. Visitors will then explore eight thematic sections tracing the artistic evolution of Georges Mathieu. In parallel, the Monnaie de Paris highlights the echoes of Mathieu’s work in contemporary street art practices by inviting graffiti artists JonOne, Lek & Sowat, Nassyo, Camille Gendron, and Matt Zerfa to create site-specific artworks. On view until September 7, 2025. __ #GeorgesMathieu #Paris #MonnaiedeParis @monnaiedeparis @centrepompidou @perrotin __ Exhibition views of Georges Mathieu’s ‘Geste, Vitesse, Mouvement’ at Monnaie de Paris, 2025 Photo: Claire Dorn Courtesy The Estate of Georges Mathieu & Perrotin ©Comité Georges Mathieu / ADAGP, Paris, 2025

    This impressive 9-meter-long work by Georges Mathieu is currently on display at the Long Museum in China. The work was painted by Mathieu in 1965 as the central work in his large-scale exhibition at the Galerie Charpentier, where he showed over 130 paintings and gouaches. ‘Paris, Capitale des Arts’ is distinguished by an abstract central figure that is both calligraphic and heraldic, constructed from a complex network of straight and curved lines. The black, yellow, and red lines cross each other and converge toward the center of the composition. The resulting gathering of signs seems to float on a range of shades of blue, while white arcs and axes burst out on either side of the canvas, standing out against the background and adding movement to the painting. __ @thelongmuseum @perrotin #GeorgesMathieu #LongMuseum #Shanghai #Perrotin __ Georges MATHIEU, Paris, Capital of the Arts, 1965 ©Comité Georges Mathieu / ADAGP, Paris, 2024.

    “I am my painting.” — Georges Mathieu Mathieu’s complete physical dedication to his work truly embodies this motto. The sensuality of Mathieu‘s works relies on the body’s gesturality, on dynamic, incisive graphics created with long brushes or by directly applying paint with tubes, fingers or cloth, on mostly plain backgrounds. This week marks the grand opening of Mathieu’s first retrospective in China at the Long Museum. This exhibition shows the perpetual antagonism between creation and destruction that defines the monumental works. Mathieu began creating these large-scale frescoes, measuring between four and nine meters, as early as 1952. Mathieu’s abstract grammar, which he developed during the Second World War, merges celebratory fervor with the abyss of disaster. The canvas becomes a projection surface for the energy of this existential struggle, enhanced by the exhilarating effect of speed, which increases the risk involved in his pictorial improvisations. Mathieu‘s heroic painting reflects the contradictions and upheavals of its age: the anguish and trauma of war, oppression and compromise, material and moral destruction, as well as the spirit of revolt and the desire to triumph and regain freedom. 🎟️Plan your visits at the link in @thelongmuseum bio Images: Installation views, “Georges Mathieu,” Aug 29 - Oct 27, 2024, The Long Museum, West Bund © Long Museum/Comité Georges Mathieu

    Georges Mathieu’s major summer exhibition has opened its door this week. 👨🏻‍🎨Mathieu played a decisive role within abstraction during the movement’s burgeoning in the late 1940s and early 1950s across Europe and the United States. Departing from the geometric abstractions that had dominated the previous era, he developed a visual language that favored form over content and gesture over intent, aiming for uninhibited creative expression. He termed this newfound aesthetic “lyrical abstraction,” after a description of his work by the French critic Jean José Marchand in 1947. 🖌️Mathieu’s works are characterized by a calligraphic quality of line, achieved by using long brushes and applying paint directly from tubes onto the canvas. The immediacy and rapid execution of these methods ensured the freedom that defined his work. According to Clement Greenberg, Mathieu was the most powerful among his contemporary European painters. 🔁Scroll through to take a closer look at Georges Mathieu’s emancipated style of painting.

    Repost of @thelongmuseum: Combining violence and virtuosity, Georges Mathieu‘s paintings are instantly recognizable for their calligraphic lyricism and exceptional precision. Despite the speed and spontaneity with which they are executed, every stroke is purposeful. From 29 August to 27 October 2024, Long Museum (West Bund) will host Georges Mathieu’s (1921-2012) first retrospective in China. A key figure in the New School of Paris, Mathieu was one of the most original French painters of his generation, founding Lyrical Abstraction in 1946 and becoming one of its most tireless proponents. He was one of the few European painters who significantly impacted the Abstract Expressionist scene in New York. His now legendary public painting sessions anticipated performance art and, from the 1970s onwards, contributed to the emergence of the urban language of graffiti. 💥💥On a scale never before seen in Asia, the exhibition will showcase pieces from over four decades of creative activity, offering a unique opportunity to explore Mathieu’s prolific body of work and its vigorous and exhilarating celebration of gesture.
