An exhibition dedicated to the work of Herbin on the theme of volutes? A paradox! Is not Auguste Herbin one of the painters most strongly identified with geometric abstraction, whose compositions consist entirely of squares, rectangles, triangles, circles, and half-moon shapes, their forms marked out using a ruler and compass and strictly ordered within a vertical-horizontal grid? This is certainly true of Herbin at the prime of his career—the period after 1945 in which he towered over the world of European art due to the beauty of his compositions and the force of his ideas.
