Painting
Nonagenarian Pierre Soulages is known for his outrenoir paintings, meaning “beyond black”, as much of his artistic practice has focused on deep black as color and anticolor. While his influences include prehistoric and Romanesque images, he has explained that he wishes to access layers of the human condition through color that is primal, urgent, and stripped of connotations. He is considered one of the leading figures of post-war European abstraction.
