{"product_id":"ap_22623","title":"XXème siècle 1959","description":"\u003cp data-end=\"630\" data-start=\"249\"\u003eThis striking original lithograph by Pierre Soulages was published in 1959 as part of the celebrated art review \u003cem data-end=\"375\" data-start=\"361\"\u003eXXème Siècle\u003c\/em\u003e—a cornerstone of post-war European art publishing. Printed by the legendary Ateliers Mourlot in Paris, this edition of 2000 captures the essence of Soulages' early explorations into light, density, and contrast through his signature use of black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"963\" data-start=\"632\"\u003eSoulages, known as the “painter of black,” transforms the void into form here. Bold, gestural strokes of deep black ink dominate the composition, layered over light cream paper. The marks appear both spontaneous and deliberate—brutal yet harmonious. The interplay of texture and shadow gives the work an almost sculptural presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1212\" data-start=\"965\"\u003ePublished in the pages of \u003cem data-end=\"1008\" data-start=\"994\"\u003eXXème Siècle\u003c\/em\u003e, one of the most influential avant-garde periodicals of the time, this print is an authentic period lithograph, not a reproduction, and was created from an original plate under Soulages’ supervision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1478\" data-start=\"1214\"\u003eThis work stands as a key example of postwar abstraction, part of a moment when Soulages was gaining international recognition.
