Pierre Soulages' works on paper will be featured in a unique exhibition not to be missed at the Luxembourg Museum in Paris from September 16, 2025 to January 11, 2026. The opportunity to (re)discover the work of the man many nicknamed him the master of the otherworldly.
Nearly three years after his death, at the age of 102, Pierre Soulages will be the subject of a major exhibition to be seen at the Luxembourg Museum. Titled ” Pierre Soulages: Paintings on paper », this artistic event will be an opportunity to admire, as its name suggests, the works on paper from the undisputed master of black paint.
Born on December 24, 1919 in Rodez and died on October 25, 2022 in Nîmes, Pierre Soulages has, over the course of his long career, produced a very large number of works, including creations on paper.
In 2019, the Soulages museum, based in Rodez, hosted an exhibition around a set of 118 paintings on paper. Walnut husks, gouaches, Indian inks as well as charcoal were exhibited for the occasion. Real paintings, several of the works on paper from Pierre Soulages will therefore be presented at the Luxembourg Museum in Paris from September 16, 2025 to January 11, 2026.
-The opportunity to (re)discover the impressive work of the French painter, associated since the end of the 1940s with abstract art. We recall that Pierre Soulages died on October 25, 2022, leaving a big void in the art world, and particularly in the contemporary art world. Since 1979, Pierre Soulages was passionate about “ultrablacks“, these famous large paintings covered in flat blacks playing paradoxically with light.
We imagine that this next exhibition at the Luxembourg Museum, entitled “ Pierre Soulages: Paintings on paper », will delight the many painting and abstract art enthusiasts. Meet from September 16, 2025 to January 11, 2026 to admire the works on paper by Pierre Soulages.
