“Peinture, 10 juin 1958” by Pierre Soulages is an abstract work of art completed in 1958. The artwork, rendered in oil, is a striking example of the Tachisme movement, measuring 202 x 125 cm.
In the artwork, broad and assertive strokes dominate the canvas, executed with a seemingly spontaneous yet meticulous approach. Predominantly composed of dark, almost black hues, the piece features bold vertical and diagonal brushstrokes that create a dynamic, structured composition. The contrasting stark background accentuates these broad strokes, giving the piece a sense of depth and movement. The minimalist yet powerful application of color and form speaks to Soulages’ signature style within the abstract genre, evoking emotion through the sheer presence of his masterful brushwork.
