Geneviève Asse - Lot 126

Geneviève Asse Notes par deux 48 pages, paperback, dust jacket Numbered 188 from an edition of 280 + current edition (out of print) "L'art en écrit", 2003. Editions Janninck Format: 125 x 210 mm A numbered, dated and signed stencil is included. Note: Geneviève Asse (Geneviève Bodin, 1923-2021) is a French painter and printmaker. Her work is characterized by an extreme sensitivity to line, a play on the interstice, the intensity of color and an incessant work on light. In Notes par deux, this major figure of contemporary abstraction reflects on the pictorial and graphic objectives she pursues with solitary discretion, against the current fury that transforms art into a political spectacle. She opts for a form akin to aphorisms and telegrams to transcribe her thoughts, a kind of declaration and ars poetica. Lulled by this binary rhythm, the reader enters a world dominated by line and stroke, and dominated by blue and space. The first edition comes with a numbered and signed stencil.
