Marie-Madeleine Bierge & Maurice Monge - Bierge [Catalogue raisonné de l'oeuvre peint 1936-1991] - A draughtsman, painter and lithographer, Roland Bierge (1922-1991) emerged from the Jeune Peinture movement in the post-war years, but quickly broke away from it, already feeling a violent need for freedom to conform to a framework of expression he considered narrow. By the early 50s, he was moving towards a new figuration, that born of post-Cubism, which sought to reconstruct a highly personal plastic world from a reinvented nature. While waiting for recognition, he began to earn his living in 1947 as a theater decorator for the Comédie-Française, which he left at the end of 1964 after spending eight months working on the decor for the opera's new ceiling, based on a model by Chagall. His painting underwent a two-fold evolution, with an increase in the use of pure colors, concomitant with the gradual disappearance of the underlying drawing. He found his own rhythm, his own cadence, his own vocabulary, taking care to avoid facile effects. He cultivates his independence from both galleries and often ephemeral movements or schools. He may have masters, yes, but a master, no! Influenced in his first period by Jacques Villon and Roger de la Fresnaye for the balance of his forms, he pursued and extended the orphic cubism that Picabia had just begun before 1914. This painter-musician weaves a brilliant, sonorous polychromy onto his canvas, exploding all the colors of the prism in a tangle controlled by the artist. This book is an opportunity to discover or rediscover one of the finest landscape and color artists of the second half of the 20th century. - Gourcuff Gradenigo - 2019
