    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.

    The first exhibition of Georges Mathieu in Korea July 12 to August 24 @perrotin Seoul
    Ouvrir
    LAST DAYS in Seoul until August 24 “Georges Mathieu’s work particularly reveals the artist’s remarkable abilities as a colorist. In paintings such as Forez (image 1), Tamatia (image 2), and Datura (image 3), his palette explodes in a shimmering profusion of colors, ranging over a wide spectrum from dark cadmium reds to shades of yellow, magenta, ocher, and luminous pale blue. As shown by the painting Innocent III (image 4), an explicit reference to an eminent medieval pope, this phase of artistic maturity is marked by a growing spirituality. Mathieu’s evolution tends toward syncretic pantheism, culminating in what we might call the ‘cosmic turn’ in his work by the 1980s.” — Pierre Ruault Georges Mathieu’s exhibition is on view at Perrotin Seoul until August 24 — @perrotin #GeorgesMathieu #PerrotinSeoul #Perrotin #조르주마티유 __ Georges Mathieu, Forez, 1970 Georges Mathieu, Tamatia, 1979 Georges Mathieu, Datura, 1980 Georges Mathieu, Innocent III accorde de nouveaux privilèges aux templiers (1198), 1960 ©Comité Georges Mathieu / ADAGP, Paris, 2024.

    Perrotin Seoul is pleased to present the first exhibition of Georges Mathieu in Korea. The artist is considered a leading figure in lyrical abstraction, the post-war European art movement which emphasized improvisational and spontaneous expression. This exhibition focuses on a selection of paintings from the 1960s and 70s, exploring Mathieu’s aesthetic of performative and stylistic brushwork. The exhibition begins on July 12 and runs through August 24. - 페로탕 서울은 프랑스의 대표적인 추상화가 조르주 마티유의 한국 첫 개인전을 선보인다. 조르주 마티유는 작가의 즉흥적 행위와 격정적 표현을 중시한 전후 유럽의 미술 경향이었던 서정적 추상의 대표적 인물이다. 이번 전시에서는 1960-70년대에 제작된 마티유의 대표적인 작품들을 중심으로 행위적이며 서체적인 붓의 움직임을 강조한 작가의 미학 세계를 살펴보도록 마련되었다. 전시는 7월 12일부터 8월 24일까지 개최된다. — #GeorgesMathieu #PerrotinSeoul @Perrotin #조르주마티유 __ Georges Mathieu, Heliopolis, 1979 ©Comité Georges Mathieu / ADAGP, Paris, 2024.
