The Centre Pompidou is putting on a large scale retrospective to celebrate the work of the greatest painter on the current French scene, Pierre Soulages. As he nears his 90th birthday, Soulages, the "painter of black and light", is recognised as one of abstract art's major figures.

The exhibition brings together over a hundred major works dating from 1946 to the present day, from the striking walnut stain works painted between 1947 and 1949 to the paintings of recent years, most of them shown for the first time, which display the dynamism and diversity of his constantly evolving approach.

Le Centre Pompidou célèbre, par une grande rétrospective, l'œuvre du plus grand peintre de la scène française actuelle, Pierre Soulages. À la veille de son 90ème anniversaire, Soulages, « peintre du noir et de la lumière », est reconnu comme l'une des figures majeures de l'abstraction.
La première partie de l'exposition met l'accent sur la période fondatrice de l'œuvre de Pierre Soulages avec un ensemble important des premières peintures sur papier et des fameux goudrons sur verre, ainsi qu'un choix de peintures parmi les plus représentatives des années 1950 à 1970.
