Robert Ryman (1930-2019), an American painter active in New York from the 1950s onwards, was originally destined for a career as a musician. To earn a living, he worked as a janitor at the Museum of Modern Art, where his interest in painting grew through contact with the European modern masters (Monet, Cézanne, Matisse) and new American references (Rothko, Pollock). He then devoted himself entirely to painting, repeating canvas after canvas the formula of the white square, chosen for its neutrality. He explored everything that goes to make up a painting, from the support to the surface, from the lighting to the hanging system. His painting, both open and active, interacts with the space around it, inviting the eye of the painter as much as that of the viewer. This catalog, conceived as the first Ryman monograph in French, brings together the leading specialists on the artist and offers a fresh approach to his work. (IN FRENCH)
