Pierre Soulages

Since 1979, the French painter Soulages has limited his palette to black, yet he creates pieces which are as alike and unalike as one day is to another. Soulages and his work are the sole protagonists in this visually striking film, for which he chose some eighty canvases to sign the development of his art. A charismatic man, his reflections on his life and work enhance an appreciation of the elemental and enigmatic beauty of his paintings.
