The works belong to his series of Venetian landscapes, in which he radically departed from the Modern aesthetic of his contemporaries and channeled the painterly style of his predecessors. Turning his back on the avant-garde, Giorgio de Chirico looked directly to the 16th century Venetian artists Giorgione, Titian, Veronese and Tintoretto for inspiration: "In the corrupt and degenerate age in which he found himself, de Chirico saw himself as a man with a mission to fill...the preservation, or rather restoration, of the dignity of painting, the reestablishment of a respect and love for the old masters and values they represent" * O N V I E W I N L O N D O N https://nahmadprojects.com/exhibition/night-max-ernst-yves-tanguy-urs-fischer/ Until Dec. 10, 2021 Nahmad Projects (https://nahmadprojects.com/) 2 Cork St, W1S 3LB +44 020 7494 2577 Following the success of the exhibition SUPERUNKNOWN | Max Ernst & Yves Tanguy with Urs Fischer (https://nahmadcontemporary-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/Redirect?ukey=1tgAKBQi279HN0HP_A3qsieTbGPV7O6j3Ggxajm6XQ44-0&key=YAMMID-10040162&link=http://www.nahmadcontemporary.com/exhibitions/superunknown-max-ernst-and-yves-tanguy-with-urs-fischer) at Nahmad Contemporary last Fall 2020, in New York, which presented masterworks by Max Ernst and Yves Tanguy alongside an installation by Urs Fischer, Nahmad Projects is pleased to present the second part of this project, titled : NIGHT | Max Ernst & Yves Tanguy with Urs Fischer (https://nahmadprojects.com/) .

Spread across two New York venues, the presentation reevaluates Mathieu’s significant contributions to the development of post-war abstraction. As a key pioneer of Action Painting, the exhibition pays particular attention to the artist’s monumental paintings, which exemplify his commitment to the encounter between body and canvas. press release (http://www.nahmadcontemporary.com/exhibitions/georges-mathieu) I N T H E P R E S S https://whitehotmagazine.com/articles/at-nahmad-contemporary-perrotin-gallery/5140 Georges Mathieu at Nahmad Contemporary and Perrotin Gallery "The opportunity to see this retrospective glance of Mathieu’s paintings in two New York Galleries – the Perrotin and Nahmad Contemporary – offers an extraordinary moment to re-think the more standard history of abstract painting that evolved through the New York School during the 1950s and 1960s."
