Simon Hantaï (1922-2008)
12 July 2024 - 30 March 2025
Born in Hungary, Simon Hantaï went into exile in France in 1948. The radical nature of his approach has made him one of the most important artists of the second half of the 20th century, and a major figure in abstraction.
Best known for what the artist calls ‘folding as a method’, initiated in 1960, his work unfolds in successive moments of remarkable diversity. From Les Mariales (1960-1962) onwards, Hantaï painted ‘blindly’ a surface that only revealed itself when unfolded and stretched on its frame. From then on, he used this method in very different ways for each series of paintings.
