Exhibition Geneviève Asse, "Le bleu prend tout ce qui passe"
January 24–May 18, 2025
In early 2025, the work of the painter and printmaker born in Vannes will be showcased at the museum dedicated to the work of the master of the Outrenoir. She, too, is known for her monochromes, but unlike Pierre Soulages, it is the color blue that she highlights.
Geneviève Asse (1923–2021) is a painter of silence: no bass drum rolls, but a world composed of blues and incident light, brushed in rays or flat areas. Asse Blue is elusive, difficult to categorize in a color chart. The canvas diffuses the light.
« À l’intérieur de ma peinture, je pense qu’il y a une sorte d’armature. D’architecture secrète, qui est dedans. And the paint also covers, conceals that.” Geneviève Asse told Rainer Michael Mason in 1977.
Titled "Le bleu prend tout ce qui passe" (Blue Takes Everything That Passes), the upcoming exhibition at the Aveyron museum focuses on the work of painter Geneviève Asse and will bring together approximately 70 paintings, prints, and drawings.
