“Goudron sur verre 45.5 x 76.5 cm, 1948” is an abstract artwork created by Pierre Soulages in 1948. Executed with glass as the medium, this piece is representative of the Tachisme art movement and is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork showcases a striking composition of bold black strokes against a white background. The stark contrast and the seemingly haphazard yet deliberate application of black tar or paint provide a compelling visual experience. The irregular shape of the glass adds an additional layer of intrigue, enhancing the abstract nature of the piece. Soulages’ work is a testament to the aesthetic values of Tachisme, emphasizing spontaneity and expressive brushwork.
