Acquired directly by original European collector from the artist
at the fourteenth Salon des Surindépendants as “Lyrical Abstraction”. Inspired by the term, Mathieu set up the first Lyrical Abstractionist group L'Imaginaire and gathered together 14 avant-garde painters, including Hans Hartung and Jean-Paul Riopelle, for the first exhibition on Abstract Lyricism. He also brought back Abstract Expressionism from New York to Paris to bridge the two capitals of art, which is a significant contribution that marks his dedication to artistic movement and his unshakable position in post-war abstract art.
and progressively captured the potential of calligraphy in abstractionist painting, underscoring the spontaneity and abrupt power of art. He brought surrealist imagination and execution to Western abstract art and pioneered integrating both the contour and connotations of Chinese calligraphy into Western art. His contributions are in parallel to the localization efforts of his Chinese counterparts, including Lin Fengmian, Zao Wou-Ki and Chu Teh-Chun. Their mutually reinforcing endeavour in the globalizing context has blazed a path that features lyrical abstraction with calligraphic elements.
