GEORGES MATHIEU, the painter harnessed to his canvas in the courtyard of the Château de Courances, 1960 5 photos, vintage silver prints Captioned (dated label) on one back and stamps on all. Note: Georges Mathieu (1921-2012), French painter and major figure of lyrical abstraction, made his mark in the 1950s with his gestural, spontaneous painting, often done in public. His work, characterized by rapid execution and calligraphic energy, contributed to the renewal of abstract painting in Europe after the Second World War. These photographs, taken in 1960, show the artist harnessed to his canvas in the courtyard of the Château de Courances, illustrating his spectacular way of painting in front of the public, a practice that contributed to his international renown. They testify to the artist's creative process and the performative dimension of his painting during this period. Dimensions: 18 x 24 cm each.
