The artwork entitled “Peinture 324 x 181 cm, 17 novembre 2008” is executed by the artist Pierre Soulages in the year 2008. This minimalist piece is rendered in acrylic on canvas and falls within the genre of abstract art. The dimensions of the artwork are 324 by 181 cm, and it is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork manifests a strong essence of minimalism through its use of different shades and textures of black. It is divided into three horizontal sections, each exhibiting distinct surface qualities. The upper section showcases subtle horizontal striations that contrast with the smoother texture of the central part. The bottom section, while nearly uniform in color, carries horizontal linear impressions, further accentuating the minimalist approach. This work, characteristic of Soulages’ oeuvre, profoundly explores the interplay of light and texture on a monochromatic palette.
