Description
Three episodes have already been dedicated to great abstract painters: Maria Helena Vieira da Silva, Ana Eva Bergman and, Aurélie Nemours. This fourth episode, dedicated to Geneviève Asse, is broadcast a couple of weeks after she passed away in August. She was 98. A pioneer of abstraction, she had to wait to be 40 for her work to be shown regularly in galleries, 65 for an exhibition in a Parisian museum (at the Modern Art Museum), and 90 to get a retrospective of her work at the Pompidou Centre. Here is an occasion to listen again to her clear an airy voice, simultaneously precise and poetic, just like her direct, efficient almost monochromatic painting style (even though this is a term she rejected).
