Soulages
Two renowned artist-painters who lived in Montmartre

The Pompidou Center is putting on a large scale retrospective to celebrate the work of Pierre Soulages for his 90th birthday.
Soulages, a painter of black and of light, constantly searching for the light paradoxically revealed by this "non-colour", his conceptual work has shown him to be one of the most important exponents of abstraction of the XXth century and established him as the greatest painter on the current French scene.
This show looks back over more than sixty years of painting and offers a new reading of the artist's oeuvre and provide a new reading of Soulages’s work, focussing on recent developments in his painting based on around 100 major works from 1946 to the present day, and brought together exceptionally, with the majority never having been seen before by the public.
