Georges Mathieu — le site officiel
Three paintings of Georges Mathieu are exhibited this year at the Biennale des Antiquaires at the Grand Palais in Paris: Sucy (1965) at Daniel Templon’s stand, heraldic and colorful artwork, with an original structure that is typical of the orthogonal period that started the same year; Machiavel I (1952) at Applicat-Prazan’s stand, painted at the Studio Paul Facchetti as well as three other […]
Eleven works of Georges Mathieu are being exhibited in the art fairs currently taking place in Paris. These works are on display: at PAD Paris, in the Tuileries gardens until Sunday April 3rd, 2016, by Galerie Protée (a nice alkyd on canvas representative of 1987, whose background goes from cold to warm), the Repetto Gallery (a refined 1959 painting and a […]
The Juan March Foundation in Madrid currently has on display two beautiful works by Georges Mathieu in its exhibition entitled Lo Nunca Visto. De la pintura informalista al fotolibro de postguerra (1945-1965) [Never Before Seen: from informalist painting to the postwar photobook (1945-1965)]. Those two works are a 1951 painting (128.5 x 196 cm) in black and red […]
The Unterlinden Museum in Colmar, the setting for the famous Issenheim altarpiece and many Renaissance masterpieces, has just reopened its doors in December, 2015, after three years of construction work to enlarge the facility and hopefully double the number of visitors. Set in a former Dominican convent since its creation in 1853, the museum has […]
People often ask us where to view Georges Mathieu artworks live. The exhibition “L’abstraction de 1920 à nos jours” (Abstraction from 1920 to the present day) staged at Galerie Hélène Bailly (25 quai Voltaire, Paris 7th district) from October 15th to December 19th, 2015, shows ten artworks including the stunning Entéléchie carolingienne V (1956). Invalid Displayed Gallery […]
Although it would seem obvious that one should call on the official dedicated committee before buying or selling a piece of that artist’s work, some honestly think they can consult with other entities whose names appear to offer complete confidence or that they can talk to experts who claim total authority regarding Georges Mathieu’s work. […]
The canvas entitled Ahinoam the Jezreelitess and Abigail the Carmelitess was put on the auction block on June 2, 2015 at Sotheby’s in Paris, so let’s take a moment to consider Georges Mathieu’s 1962 travels to Israel with the help of the detailed catalogue notes. In March, 1962, during what we call his mystical period, […]
Les Abattoirs, a cultural institution in Toulouse that incorporates a museum of modern art, a contemporary arts center, and a regional contemporary arts collection (FRAC in French), is showing a selection of works donated by Mr. Anthony Denney (photographer and decorator), including the famous Battle of Hastings. The exhibition, initially set to run from January 30 […]
Georges Mathieu was born on January 27, 1921, in Boulogne-sur-Mer, France, of Mr. Adolphe Mathieu d’Escaudœuvres and Mrs. Madeleine Dupré d’Ausque. He would have been 94 years old this year.
On the occasion of the exhibition held in the two Applicat-Prazan galleries (right bank and left bank of Paris), Pariscope features this week an article in which Alexandre Grenier honors Mathieu for his role as a “founding father”. Can you fathom today the star Georges Mathieu (1921-2012) was back in the 1950s and 1960s? (…) […]
![[ENGLISH BELOW]
🇫🇷 L'exposition des œuvres sur papier de Georges Mathieu chez Perrotin est ouverte du mardi au samedi, de 11h à 19h, jusqu’au 30 septembre, au 2bis avenue Matignon.
« Georges Mathieu, fondateur de l'Abstraction lyrique, est reconnu internationalement pour ses œuvres sur toile énergiques, parfois monumentales. Il est aussi renommé en France pour sa production d’artiste total, dans les domaines les plus variés, des affiches aux médailles et pièces de monnaie, en passant par les tapisseries des Gobelins, les porcelaines de Sèvres et même l’architecture d’avant-garde.
Au sein de cette multitude de supports et de techniques, ses œuvres sur papier, qui furent souvent exposées au côté de ses peintures, ont rarement fait l’objet d’une présentation dédiée. Elles méritent pourtant qu’on leur prête une attention particulière, à la fois en tant qu’illustrations supplémentaires du talent protéiforme de Mathieu, et par leurs qualités propres, leurs caractéristiques distinctives qui nous offrent un récit sur l’évolution du style de l’artiste, parallèle à celui que nous offrent ses peintures. » – Édouard Lombard, Directeur du Comité Georges Mathieu
🌏 ‘Georges Mathieu, the founder of Lyrical Abstraction, is internationally renowned for his dynamic, sometimes monumental works on canvas. In France, he is also known as a total artist, working in a wide variety of fields, from posters to medals and coins, from Gobelins tapestries to Sèvres porcelain and even avant-garde architecture.
Amidst the vast array of media and techniques, his works on paper, although often exhibited alongside his paintings, have rarely been the subject of a separate exhibition. Yet they deserve special consideration, not only to showcase Mathieu's protean talent but because of their unique qualities that demonstrate the evolution of his style in parallel with his paintings.’
On view until September 30 at 2 bis avenue Matignon
Tuesday-Saturday 11AM-7PM
