    #CENTENARY Exactly 100 years ago, on January 27, 1
    #CENTENARY Exactly 100 years ago, on January 27, 1921, Georges Victor Adolphe Mathieu d'Escaudœuvres was born in Boulogne-sur-Mer, France, rue Saint-Louis. As explained in the monograph 50 Years of Creation: “The Mathieu d'Escaudœuvres are from the Cambrésis, while through his mother, Madeleine Dupré d'Ausque, Georges Mathieu belongs to ‘this indomitable people,’ gifted with an uncommon energy, illustrated by his ancestor Godefroy de Bouillon. [...] ‘I was born in the city where San Martin died. My first landscape is that of the ramparts that surround the castle of Boulogne built on Philippe Auguste's order in 1231: it will reappear...’” He will start painting 21 years later. Let us pay tribute this year to the total artist par excellence, to the founder of Lyric Abstraction, to the pioneer of Action Painting and performances, who has succeeded in sharing his creative passion across decades and continents. #CENTENAIRE C’était il y a exactement 100 ans, le 27 janvier 1921, la naissance à Boulogne-sur-Mer, rue Saint-Louis, de Georges Victor Adolphe Mathieu d’Escaudœuvres. Comme expliqué dans la monographie 50 ans de création : « Les Mathieu d’Escaudœuvres sont du Cambrésis tandis que par sa mère, Madeleine Dupré d’Ausque, Georges Mathieu appartient à “ce peuple indomptable”, doué d’une énergie peu commune, illustré par son ancêtre Godefroy de Bouillon. […] “Je suis né dans la ville où San Martin est mort. Mon premier paysage est celui des remparts qui entourent le château de Boulogne construit sur l’ordre de Philippe Auguste en 1231 : il resurgira...” » Il commencera à peindre 21 ans plus tard. Rendons hommage cette année à l’artiste total par excellence, au fondateur de l’Abstraction lyrique, au pionnier de l’Action Painting et des performances, qui a su partager sa passion créatrice à travers les décennies et les continents.

    Photo: Portrait of Mathieu by Trémois "in memory
    Photo: Portrait of Mathieu by Trémois "in memory of a meeting on the Eiffel Tower on August 7, 1964". Reposted in much better quality (version française en commentaire) Tribute to Pierre-Yves Trémois, exceptional designer, sculptor and engraver, born in January 1921 as Georges Mathieu his friend and colleague from the Academy of Fine Arts, and died 5 months ago on August 16, 2020. We pass on our best thoughts to his wife Catherine. The art of Pierre-Yves Trémois is "above all that of the line, a line of absolute purity which gives his writing its fabulous singularity", writes the Academy of Fine Arts. Constantly questioning the origins of Man, he draws his inspiration from eroticism, the animal world and the sciences. He had collaborated with Georges Mathieu and Salvador Dalí on the "Apocalypse of Saint John", probably the heaviest and most expensive book in the world, weighing 210 kg in its unique version, decorated with gold and precious stones and containing 21 original works by 7 artists, accompanied by texts by 7 authors including Jean Cocteau, Jean Giono and Cioran. We remember his beautiful tribute speech at the funeral of Georges Mathieu celebrated in the cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris in 2012.

    A magnificent drawing by Georges Mathieu, dating f
    A magnificent drawing by Georges Mathieu, dating from 1958, currently on view at MoMA until February 6, 2021, in the group exhibition "Degree Zero: Drawing at Midcentury", alongside Hans Hartung, Henri Matisse, Jackson Pollock, Louise Bourgeois, Yayoi Kusama, and many others. (version française en commentaire) Spanning five continents, the exhibition looks across movements, geographies, and generations to highlight connections between artists who shared common materials and ideas between 1948 and 1961. “Zero means ‘nothing,’” wrote the Japanese artist Saburo Murakami in 1953, “start with nothing, completely original, no artificial meaning.” Bringing together approximately 80 works on paper from MoMA’s collection, Degree Zero: Drawing at Midcentury illuminates how artists used drawing to forge a new visual language in the aftermath of World War II. Modest, immediate, and direct, drawing was the ideal medium for this period of renewal. Mimicking the look of language, it appeared as graffiti-like scribbling, or borrowed from traditional calligraphies. Its geometric forms sought to communicate universal ideals, and its accumulations of marks reflected society’s new urge to amass.

    Repost from @fondationgandurpourlart • Georges Mathieu reminds us that art is a language and that signs are the key elements of his vocabulary. He adds that the effectiveness of his gestural painting is now born of the sign and not of the signified. From this postulate, the last barriers that can still resist gestural and informal art in its quest for solutions to paint the real without going through the traditional codes of representation have given way. . Georges Mathieu rappelle que l’art est un langage et le signe l’élément clef de son vocabulaire. Il ajoute que l’efficacité de sa peinture gestuelle naît désormais du signe et non du signifié. À partir de ce postulat cèdent les dernières barrières pouvant encore résister à l’art gestuel et informel dans sa quête de solutions pour peindre le réel sans passer par les codes traditionnels de la représentation. .

    #Repost @galerieperrotin ・・・ Step into a 'Floating World' at Perrotin Hong Kong ☁ The aptly titled group exhibition 'Floating World,' on view through December 19, seeks to capture the limbo of time through a world of fleeting impressions and subjective realities. The selection of artworks presented depict the personal reality of each individual artist as they oscillate between deliberation and spontaneity. Every work portrays the search for a nebulous intermediary place between the melancholic, transitory nature of existence, and the headiness of living for the moment. Who’s On View at 'Floating World’: #SophieCalle, @Johan_Creten, @BernardFrize, @LaurentGrasso, #ThiloHeizmann, @KimChongHak_Official, #LeeBae, @GeorgesMathieuOfficiel, @Othoniel_Studio, @ParkSeobo, @Maria_Taniguchi, and @Xavier_Veilhan. — #FloatingWorld #PerrotinHongKong #Perrotin — Exhibition views of 'Floating World' at Perrotin Hong Kong, 2020.

    Jean-Marie Cusinberche, documentaliste et historien d’art passionné par Georges Mathieu, nous a quittés ce 22 juin. Ayant rencontré l’œuvre de Mathieu en 1965 lors de la fameuse exposition de ce dernier à la Galerie Charpentier, ce spécialiste des arts appliqués avait rassemblé de nombreuses archives sur le Maître et conçu l’exposition-documents « Mathieu, un style pour notre siècle — Pour un art de vivre » présentée en 2003 au Palais Bénédictine à Fécamp où il réunit un vaste ensemble d’œuvres annexes. Une messe sera célébrée ce vendredi 18 septembre à 14h30 en l’église Saint-Ferdinand-des-Ternes, Paris XVII. Nous nous associons à la douleur de son épouse. .

    "I love paintin
    #Repost @galerieperrotin ・・・ "I love painting canvases that are disproportionately large, perhaps because the risk is also greater" — Georges Mathieu Mathieu believed in the primacy of painting and the expressive power of abstraction. The concept of risk, "this celebration of being," of which Mathieu was the first theorist and practitioner, is intimately linked to the concepts of liberty and intuition. Risk offers an opportunity for a totally free creative process. The painting 'La nécessité de l'espérance' ('The necessity of hope') was executed live for the documentary 'Georges Mathieu or The Fury of Being.' Through the magic of cinema, the movement of the cinematograph intimately captures the creative gesture.
