HELENE BAILLY presents Poliakoff et la génération parisienne
27/03/2025
Paris, 05 March 2025 - 03 May 2025
If the innovations that Serge Poliakoff brought to modern painting are numerous – a rigorous approach to composition in abstraction, an inseparability of forms, a melodious harmony in painting – the impact he left on his contemporaries is even deeper.
The Hélène Bailly Gallery is proud to exhibit major works by Poliakoff – including the one used as the poster image for the retrospective dedicated to the artist at the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris in 2013-2014 – true testimonies to his colorist genius and unique approach to abstract form. This exhibition highlights the richness of a generation that, in the artistic effervescence of postwar Paris, redefined the codes of modern art and permanently shaped the language of abstraction.
