Pierre Soulages
b. 1919, Rodez, France

Soulages was a pioneering French abstract painter known for his groundbreaking use of black as a primary element in his works, often referred to as “noir-lumiere” (black light). His textured, layered paintings explored the reflective properties of the color black, transforming the canvas into a dynamic field of light and shadow.
