To keep in mind

CoBrA, abstract, inventive, ingenious... Pierre ALECHINSKY traveled through the second half of the 20th century by building HIS work with each new step. Alone yet the leader of a recognized group, abstract yet more of a form inventor than most other abstraction proponents, quickly admired by connoisseurs and gaining even more strength by getting closer to popular arts! This is how Alechinsky is, never committing to just one path but preferring to venture on all at once; never quite where one would expect him to be, but always present, one could even say omnipresent in 20th-century art!
