By focusing on the post-war period, "Impulsion Abstraite" sheds light on a time of significant artistic innovation and experimentation, when artists sought to break away from conventional techniques and explore new forms of expression.
The post-war abstract movement was a pivotal time in art history, marked by a desire to move away from the figurative and representational styles that had dominated earlier periods. One of the most notable styles to emerge during this time was lyrical abstraction. This approach emphasized spontaneity, intuition, and personal expression, allowing artists to convey complex emotions and experiences through abstract forms. Artists like Georges Mathieu and André Marfaing were key figures in this movement, using bold gestures and contrasting tones to create works that were both visually striking and deeply emotive. The exhibition "Impulsion Abstraite" captures this spirit of innovation, showcasing works that reflect the diverse approaches and techniques of the artists who defined lyrical abstraction.
