Amédée Cortier 1921° - 1976†

The geometrical, cool abstraction of Amédée Cortier is controlled by an unbiased and clean language of forms, in which the geometrical shapes gradually turn into mere coloured surfaces. These coloured surfaces stretch out towards the edge and hence take on their own identity with regard to the total surface. In this sense, Cortier creates a balance between two or three coloured strips that were intuitively developed. Eventually, all of this results in monochrome works. Cortier especially plays with the contrast between the pure, intense power of the colour and the size of the painting. ?Almost nothing to observe, and yet that is what I observe? said Cortier.
