Catalogue Note
Le papier a toujours été un lieu particulier pour Soulages, un domaine d'abord privé d'exercice de sa créativité, un territoire pour soi, où faire jouer en toute liberté, à toute époque de son travail, les prises et surprises de la lumière et de son absence, et les infinies gradations du sombre au clair, leurs contrastes et leurs complicités.
