PIERRE SOULAGES (1919–2022)
The “painter of black,” Soulages developed Outrenoir—“beyond black”—to explore how light interacts with deep, glossy darkness. His textured monochromes evoke solemnity and luminosity. His legacy lives at the Musée Soulages in Rodez, Centre Pompidou, and the Guggenheim Bilbao.
"Black is the most intense color, the most forceful."
