Pierre-Soulages
1919

Painting 222 x 137 cm, March 5, 2015, is a  work that is part of the work of the Outrenoirs.  

​

Outrenoir is a concept forged by the painter Pierre Soulages and which defines the most important part of his work.

​

The variation of the black curves of the canvas reinforces the feeling of rhythm generated by a work of opposition between smooth or streaked, matte or shiny textures.

​

The monumental verticality and the regularity of the matte / shiny, smooth / streaked, thickness / flatness, absorption / refraction of light oppositions allow to subtly reveal a large number of the possibilities of black light on the same pictorial space.
