Composition, from The Official Arts Portfolio of the XXIVth Olympiad, Seoul, Korea
Pierre Soulages, the celebrated French abstract painter renowned for his mastery of bold, gestural mark-making, contributes this striking screenprint to the official arts portfolio of the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Rendered in deep, luminous blue on wove paper, the composition showcases Soulages' signature exploration of light and texture through sweeping, powerful strokes that command the picture plane. The work reflects his lifelong investigation into the expressive potential of color and form, translating his monumental painting sensibility into the refined medium of printmaking.
