The Musée du Luxembourg is dedicating an exceptional exhibition to Pierre Soulages, a major figure in contemporary art and the undisputed master of black-light. This tribute explores the artist's entire career, from his early explorations of materials to the revolutionary invention of Outrenoir (Beyond Black).

Through a selection of emblematic works—paintings, engravings, works on paper, and rare pieces—visitors are immersed in an artistic approach that defied conventions to make black an inexhaustible source of brilliance, vibrancy, and light.

The exhibition reveals the physical power of his striated surfaces, the subtlety of his reflections, and the almost meditative dimension of his monumental canvases. It highlights an artist who transformed apparent simplicity into a territory of infinite exploration.

An immersive journey, designed as an invitation to look differently, to slow down, to feel space and light as Soulages conceived them: alive, moving and deeply sensory.
