What to expect

Have you ever heard of "black-light" or "beyond-black"? If so, you are among the admirers of Pierre Soulages. A painter, engraver, and sculptor, this great artist has carved his place in the world of culture.

Born on December 24, 1919, Soulages began his career in 1946. Since then, he has never wavered in his passion. He stands out from all other artists for his love of black. Born Pierre Jean Louis Germain Soulages, it is not surprising that art enthusiasts call him the "King of Black." In homage to this famous painter, the Louvre Museum is organizing an exhibition for his 100th birthday.

Painter of black and light, Pierre Soulages will be present next December at the Louvre Museum. This exhibition offers an opportunity to contemplate his magnificent canvases. For this purpose, the Salon Carré is entirely dedicated to the presentation of his art. This room is located between the Grande Galerie and the Galerie d'Apollon. The choice of this location was not made by chance. Pierre Soulages particularly favors this room because it is where the Italian primitives were exhibited. For your pleasure, you will find a selection of major works from the greatest foreign and French museums. These collections gather the best works of this artist during each of his seven decades. So, take note of these dates: from December 11, 2019, to March 9, 2020. Whether you're a painting enthusiast or just curious, you will be amazed by attending this exhibition full of nuances.
