Pierre Soulages (1919 - 2022)
Lithographie n°9, 1959
Lithographie n°9 (1959) is a distinguished work by Pierre Soulages, exemplifying the artist’s radical approach to form, rhythm, and the expressive power of black. Created at a pivotal moment in his career, this original hand-pulled lithograph reflects Soulages’ early exploration of contrast, materiality, and light as an active compositional force.
The composition is defined by a striking dialogue between deep black passages and luminous white space. Subtle variations in texture and pressure introduce movement and depth, transforming the surface into a dynamic field of visual tension. This work anticipates the artist’s later development of outrenoir, where black becomes not a color, but a medium for light itself.
Rare and highly collectible, Lithographie n°9 stands as an important example of Soulages’ graphic oeuvre. It embodies the clarity, restraint, and intensity that characterize his work and remains a compelling acquisition for discerning collectors and institutions alike.
