  • 12 September 2003 - 15 November 2003

The retrospective of the painting works by Georges Mathieuis the first important exhibition dedicated to this artist, who after the war deeply affected the renewal of abstraction on an international level. From 1944 Georges Mathieu has, in fact, worked for an art freed from any formal constraints, totally disputing the concept of geometrical abstraction.
The exhibition Georges Mathieu, retrospettiva/ Georges Mathieu, retrospective, gathers more than fifty paintings, mostly on canvas, but also some acrylics, which illustrate the evolution of Mathieu’s work from the first abstract paintings of 1946 (Conception, DÈsintÈgration) up to the acrylics on paper of 1999, coming from French, European, American and Asian private and public collections.
