Jacques Germain, work and color
A keen sense of chromaticism, a taste for vibrant, luminous brushstrokes
Like Georges Mathieu, Jean Miotte and Gérard Schneider, Jacques Germain is a major player in post-war lyrical abstract art. Major and singular.
Jacques Germain's research into color is also unique.
From 1947* onwards, Jacques Germain produced a body of work spanning almost fifty years, manifesting a sensitivity to color and movement.
From his 1955 paintings, a series of colored surfaces, to the small areas of pure impressionist-style color, to the explosion of tones and feasts of color of the late 70s and early 80s, Jacques Germain liberates color and makes it the structuring element of the painting.
In contrast to pictorial movements such as constructivism or geometric abstraction, in which color is circumscribed within geometric figures.
*The date on which Jacques Germain broke away from figurative painting.
