Poliakoff Et La G茅n茅ration Parisienne
If the innovations Serge Poliakoff brought to modern painting are numerous鈥攁 rigorous composition in abstraction, an inseparability of forms, and a melodious harmony in painting鈥攖he impact he had on his contemporaries is even deeper. Exhibiting Serge Poliakoff without including this Parisian generation would offer an incomplete perspective on his work. Poliakoff鈥檚 universe is inherently Parisian: it was in Paris that he claimed to have been 鈥渂orn a painter,鈥� alongside a generation of artists who pushed the boundaries of abstraction.
To contextualize Poliakoff鈥檚 painting, one must consider the rise of abstract art. His contemporaries immediately recognized his talent, and through his encounters, particularly with Kandinsky, Robert and SONIA DELAUNAY, Poliakoff鈥檚 practice became more refined. These exchanges enriched his pursuit of harmony and simplicity in color and form.
Alongside him, other iconic figures of this Parisian generation also shaped modern art: Hans Hartung, with his powerful gestures and exploration of movement; Vieira da Silva, who reinvented pictorial space with her colorful labyrinths; Fernand L茅ger, whose architectural vision of forms influenced a more structured abstraction; and Nicolas de Sta毛l, a master of abstraction on the border of figuration, sharing with Poliakoff a common pursuit of chromatic intensity.
