notes

This major canvas from the early 1960s, Peinture 162 x 130 cm, 14 Avril 1962, testifies to an important period of change in Soulages’ career where the relatively static signs of his early years give way to a new and definitive tension which will continue to grow. Form is now linked to colour and matter, adding an innovative and original dimension to the painter’s work. This change in sensibility demonstrates the incredible creative energy that inhabits Soulages.
