Auguste Herbin, a digital abstraction at the Galerie Lahumière

 

3

In the world of modern art, the name of Auguste Herbin resonates as an essential reference. His singular journey through the 20th century artistic landscape is a fascinating artistic chronicle, from his first steps alongside Cézanne and Van Gogh to his establishment as a leading artist of geometric abstraction. His paintings, with their bold colors and bold deconstruction of form, defying the artistic conventions of his time, sparked passionate debate, revealing the artist's radical avant-gardism. Over the years, Herbin cultivated a marked interest in geometry, an obsession which reached its peak in the 1920s with his monumental works, intertwining geometric shapes in a swirl of bright colors, creating a striking visual dynamism. As Charles Baudelaire might have said, here, “perfumes, colors and sounds respond to each other” in a captivating symphony.
