Colissimo delivery service Biography of Solange Bernard Solange Bernard (1925–2011) is a French painter whose work is part of the lyrical abstraction movement and free gesture. Born in Nice, she was immersed in the world of art from a young age. In the 1940s, while still a student, she crossed paths with Henri Matisse in the south of France, whose use of color and freedom of line influenced her early works. She also frequented Pablo Picasso in Vallauris, where she observed with fascination his creative energy and ability to reinvent forms. Trained at the Fine Arts, Solange Bernard quickly distanced herself from figurative art to explore avenues of abstraction. Her preferred medium remains paper, on which she works with ink, acrylic, or charcoal. Her gesture is instinctive, often intense, blending spontaneity and control. She is distinguished by a refined, organic artistic language, often traversed by graphic rhythms close to automatic writing. Throughout her career, she exhibited in France and occasionally in Europe, in small but recognized galleries. While she never sought media attention, her works are today found in several private collections, appreciated for their inner strength and timeless modernity. ⸻ Product sheet for announcement Title: Original ink on paper – signed Solange Bernard – Contemporary abstraction Description: Original work created in black ink on paper by French artist Solange Bernard (1925–2011), a figure of 20th-century lyrical abstraction.
