Rarely the focus of standalone exhibitions, Pierre Soulages' works on paper form a vital part of his artistic journey. As early as 1946, he began exploring this medium using walnut stain, applying bold, sweeping marks that immediately set his work apart within the abstract movements of the time.

Thanks to exceptional loans from the Musée Soulages, the exhibition brings together 130 works produced between the 1940s and the early 2000s, including 25 never shown before.You'll discover a group of paintings on paper, long kept in the artist's studio, which testify to the constancy and freedom with which Soulages approached this medium.
