Pierre Soulages

Olympische Spiele München (Olympinc Games Munich)

A bold and commanding lithograph by Pierre Soulages, created for the 1972 Munich Olympic Games, showcasing his signature mastery of stark, sweeping forms rendered in rich, confident strokes. The composition reflects Soulages' lifelong dialogue between light and darkness, with dramatic black lines asserting themselves powerfully against the sheet. Printed on fine Arches paper, this vibrant color lithograph stands as both a celebration of the Olympic spirit and a testament to Soulages' commanding abstract vision.
