Joan Mitchell, a dazzling figure of abstract expressionism, has made color a language in its own right. From her New York beginnings to her European influence, her career is that of a woman who imposed her voice in a male-dominated environment, without ever softening her gesture or diluting her vision.Painting was, for her, a vital necessity. Her abstraction, far from being cold or intellectual, is visceral, lyrical and inhabited. A work in which the intimate becomes universal.#JoanMitchell #ExpressionismAbstract #ArtContemporain #AbstractionLyrique #FemmesArtistes #PeintureModerne

Figure and City marks a turning point in Joan Mitchell's work: her last figurative canvas before she fully embraced lyrical abstraction. Les Échos d'un monde tangible (Echoes of a Tangible World) can still be seen, but is soon swallowed up by the gestural élan and chromatic fulgurances that would come to define her style. #joanmitchell #peinturemoderne #abstractionlyrique #histoiredelart #expressionnismeamericain

Willem de Kooning, a major figure in Abstract Expressionism, left his mark on 20th-century art with his powerful, gestural compositions. This movement, born in the United States in the 1940s, values raw emotion and spontaneous gesture. De Kooning brought to it a unique tension between abstraction and figuration, notably through his famous series of women.How do you feel about Willem de Kooning's work?#willemdekooning #expressionismabstract #artmodern 1TP5Gestual painting

In the mechanical world, division is method: each part is adjusted to the whole according to clear, calculated, controlled proportions.It's a composition guided by regularity: repetition, symmetry, measured balance.Here, everything is constructed, each element finds its place in a logic of precision.An artificial order, yes - but one that conveys clarity, rhythm and intelligibility.1TP5Mechanicalcomposition1TP5Visualorder1TP5Rationalproportions1TP5Repetitionthetics1TP5Formallanguage

In a letter addressed to young people, Matisse insists on the crucial importance of drawing, an act he considers vital. His words sound like a vibrant call, an invitation to explore the world through art. Yet behind this ardent passion lurks a palpable concern: that this creative flame will be snuffed out by the distractions of the modern world. A letter that inspires as much as it alerts, a poignant testimony to an artist's commitment to future generations.#Matisse #Dessin #Art #Créativité #Inspiration

"Rue Gauguet" is one of Nicolas de Staël's largest works, executed on plywood panel (199.4 × 240.3 cm). The painter lived and worked at 7 rue Gauguet, in a modernist-style villa-studio, from January 1947. Here, he painted directly on the floor, abandoning easel painting.#NicolasdeStael #RueGauguet #ArtModerne #Peinture #InspirationArtistique

A vibrant tribute to Nicolas de Staël, a visionary artist who brought together on canvas the memory, the lived moment and the future dream. Each work is a poetic act, an invitation to travel between the emotion felt, the buried past and the infinite possibilities. Nicolas de Staël remains a major inspiration for all those who believe in the timeless power of art, and we thank him for transforming the impossible into a palpable, rich and profoundly human universe. #nicolasdestaël #abstraitart #abstraitartist #CulturePainting

In 1952, Nicolas de Staël painted several canvases depicting bottles, particularly wine bottles, which became famous for their abstract style and color palette. Bottles were a recurring subject in his work, and he often depicted them in still-life scenes or in more abstract compositions.#abstrait #abstraitart #abstraitartiste #nicolasdestaël

Nicolas de Staël, Portrait de Jeannine (1941): immersed in an intense expressive period, where vibrant contrasts between luminous yellows, ochres and deep blues shape a captivating atmosphere. The outstretched hand subtly dialogues with the surrounding forms, recalling the Mannerist elegance of El Greco and the expressive melancholy of Picasso's blue period. A work in which color and form respond to one another to evoke emotion at the very edge of the canvas.#CulturePeinture #ArtExpressif #DialogueDesFormes #Contrastes #PortraitArtistique

"Open a breach and stretch out his arms again" - For Rothko, it's not about painting the abstract or the figurative. It's about breaking the silence.

At the end of his life, Georges Braque was asked a simple but essential question: "Any words for young painters? "After a moment's silence, he replied: "Réfléchissez.

It's about looking for what can't yet be seen.#Painting #Artist #Inspiration #GeorgesBraque #Creation

For Matisse, color goes far beyond simply reproducing what the eye sees. Driven by the desire to free artistic expression from the constraints of realism, he turned color into a language in its own right, capable of translating the soul and the deepest feelings. Inspired by his own experience and a desire to capture raw emotion, he wanted to offer artists a means of revealing their inner world, transforming every nuance into a veritable emotional vibration.And you, what inspires you in this vision?

A visit to the Musée de l'Hermitage in Lausanne with some of our students to admire Nicolas De Staël's exhibition: a moment of learning and contemplation in front of his works, in particular his immense painting Les Footballeurs, of incredible intensity and energy. We took full advantage, discussing his technique, his unique palette and his visual impact - there's no substitute for direct experience of the works of the great masters. I encourage all enthusiasts to go and see them in museums, to observe the materials, colors and emotion that no reproduction can fully convey.#NicolasDeStael #Fondation de l'Hermitage #CulturePeinture #ApprendreParLArt
