Catalogue Note
Le développement de l'oeuvre sur papier peut se lire d'abord comme une tension dialectique entre le traitement pictural par le signe et le traitement par la surface, l'un et l'autre coexistant, mais inégalement, tout au long des trois premières décennies, et intervenant parfois dans les mêmes peintures. Au long des années 1950, la tendance à occuper par la peinture la plus grande partie de l'espace ne fera, en effet, que s'affirmer, notamment dans les gouaches, souvent par l'utilisation d'un fond coloré semi-transparent sur lequel s'inscrit une structure statique de traces noires, conférant à la puissance dans la présence une monumentalité impressionnante.
