We present from June 24th to July 25 th 2026, an exhibition dedicated to international post-war abstraction. Bringing together Olivier Debré, Hans Hartung, André Marfaing, Serge Poliakoff, Roberto Matta, Roger Bissière, Jean Paul Riopelle, Georges Mathieu, and Maria Helena Vieira da Silva, it offers a multifaceted interpretation of this foundational moment in pictorial modernity.

After 1945, abstraction established itself as an autonomous language, freed from any reference to the visible. Hartung, Marfaing, Poliakoff, and Matta transformed it into a field of forces where gesture, material, and structure coexist without hierarchy. Riopelle brought a gestural density that saturated the space; Bissière, a luminous restraint based on balance and inner harmony. Debré extended this dynamic through the chromatic vibration of the landscape, while Vieira da Silva constructed mental spaces where memory and perception merge.

Perhaps its most enduring strength lies there: post-war abstraction is not bequeathed — it restarts, with every gaze, on every surface, as if painting had never stopped searching for its full potential.
