Eau-forte VI. 1957.
Etching.
Gatto 6 (there erroneously mentioned wih an edition of 100 copies). Signed and numbered. From an edition of 200 copies. On Rives wove paper (with watermark). 59.5 x 43 cm (23.4 x 16.9 in). Sheet: 75,7 x 56,5 cm (29,8 x 22,1 in).
Printed by Atelier Lacourière, Paris. Published by Galerie Berggruen, Paris. [JS].
• This is the first etching by the lately deceased protagonist of French Informalism.
• Soulages’ quest for non-figuration led him to a gestural-intuitive painting in the 1950s.
• In "Eau-forte VI", Soulages transferred the structure of the broad brushstroke into the print medium with great mastery.
• Paintings and prints from the 1950s, a decisive time for Soulages’ œuvre, are at, among others, the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
PROVENANCE: Private collection Baden-Württemberg (family-owned since the 1980s).
