Untitled, No. 52. Signed Pincemin 1981. Oil on canvas. 47×60 cm. Jean-Pierre Pincemin was one of the leading French artists of his generation. Until the age of 23, he worked as a factory metal turner. He gave up this job to pursue his great passion and urge to create. Hence, Pincemin emerged in the late 1960s as an influential member of the Supports/Surfaces movement, who took an interest in materiality and investigating the full spectrum of the pictorial field. Pincemin left the group in 1974 and returned to the more classical painterly tools of the easel and the paintbrush. With these tools he continued to explore the harmony and contrasts of colour in his work, demonstrating his quest for a geometric organisation determined by chromatic values.
