Since 1989, the Louvre Museum and the Réunion des musées nationaux have entrusted contemporary artists with the task of producing engraved plates for Chalcography, which ensures the exclusivity of the print run, without limitation on the number of prints.
Very different trends in contemporary art are represented. Geneviève Asse meets Georg Baselitz, Pierre Courtin, Jean-Pierre Pincemin, Pat Steir, Jean-Michel Alberola, Robert Morris, Louise Bourgeois, Markus Raetz, Pierre Alechinsky or Agathe May.
Geneviève Bodin, known as Geneviève Asse was born in Vannes in 1923. She turned to painting in 1943, painting mainly still lifes, influenced by Chardin, Turner and Saenredam. Her works of the 1950s are slowly moving towards abstraction, since she now favours space and light, in a great simplicity characterized by the omnipresence of the colour blue.
