H. 146 cm - L. 97 cm
Geneviève Asse or the ascetic of contemplation ... The three works acquired by the museum, not to mention the Verticale painting, collage I deposited by the Fonds national d'art contemporain, allow us to evoke the journey of this artist born in Vannes, who stays regularly on Île-aux-Moines.
The "Nude" of 1962 may seem singular in her artistic career. An attentive eye reveals the presence of a silhouette between appearance and disappearance, emergence and dissolution, in a subtle shade from which emerge different shades of white, beige and red. already blues. The first milestones are laid before the reference to the subject disappears in the 1970s and the inner strength of blue is imposed.
