Jean-François Dubreuil
Lures and pleasures of a conceptual painter
Jean-François Dubreuil’s paintings are striking. Bold colours, juxtaposed rectangles, backgrounds saturated with solid colours or well-endowed with whites broken by grey or yellow, where parallelepipeds take over, surrounded by these same colours which, elsewhere, filled the whole background, sometimes crossed by diagonals. The effect thus produced immediately places this painting on the side of a geometric abstraction that was thought to be in the past, were it not for a few resistance fighters engaged in the beyond, or the below, we do not know, of history. However, on closer inspection, or over a longer period of time, there is something wrong with this foregone conclusion, but what?

Paris gallery week-end
Jean-François Dubreuil
We participate in this event organized by the Professional Committee of Art Galleries.

Marcelle Cahn. In search of space
Museum of modern and contemporary art of Strasbourg
Marcelle Cahn’s career in the history of 20th century art began at the edge of the expressionist and purist currents, and flourished in the 1950s through a free abstraction, endowed both whimsical and extremely rigorous, of which the relief-paintings and spatial paintings of the 1960s are a remarkable achievement.

Harmony of the spheres with G. Claisse, J. Dewasne, A. Herbin
Musée départemental Matisse, le Cateau-Cambrésis
We are very pleased to inform you that this exhibition which groups two of our flagship artists, Jean Dewasne (1921-1999) and Auguste Herbin (1882-1960), will be the occasion to show again “L’habitacle rouge” a monumental work by Jean Dewasne whose architect was Jean-Claude Lahumière.

Georges Folmer
An abstraction 1950-70
As part of the publication of a monograph on the work of Georges Folmer (1895-1977), written by Lydia Harambourg at Editions El Viso, the gallery is pleased to present a selection of works by the artist. This more contemporary reading of his works will allow everyone to get an idea of the contribution to geometric art of this artist, who was also the founder of the Measure Group (1961-1966), bringing together artists such as Marcelle Cahn, Günter Fruhtrunk, Jean Gorin or even Aurélie Nemours.

Converging geometries III
Charles Bézie, Jean-Gabriel Coignet, Jean-Michel Gasquet, Hans-Jörg Glattfelder, Yves Popet, André Stempfel
We invite you to discover the final part of our trilogy, entitled Géometries Croisées (Converging-Geometries), with six other contemporary artists, painters and sculptors. The works chosen were created at different periods of their careers. Despite all these years, tests, research and interrogations, the paths of these artists present a great coherence and a fidelity to geometrical abstraction which commands respect. The works by each artist, their views on geometry and colour intersect and continue to reflect each other, much to our delight. They offer us a fine overview of the history of geometric and constructed abstraction over the last thirty years.

Happy holidays

Parisian Abstracts
Modem, Debrecen - Hungaria
By 1930, Paris had become the European hub of various nonfigurative trends, including abstract art, and the center of international avant-garde. Active in most of these, Abstraction-Création was established in 1931 by Auguste Herbin, Jean Hélion et Georges Vantongerloo,. It quickly became a meeting point for artists of different nationalities, covering more than 20 nations, whose activity had a key role in the progressive movements.
