Colissimo Delivery Service Biography of Solange Bernard Solange Bernard (1925–2011) was a French painter whose work is part of the movement of lyrical abstraction and free gesture. Born in Nice, she was immersed in the art world from an early age. In the 1940s, while still a student, she crossed paths with Henri Matisse in southern 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. Educated at the Beaux-Arts, Solange Bernard quickly moved away from figuration to explore the avenues of abstraction. Her medium of choice remained paper, on which she worked with ink, acrylic, or charcoal. Her gesture is instinctive, often intense, blending spontaneity and mastery. She is distinguished by a purified, organic plastic language, often crossed by graphic rhythms close to automatic writing. Throughout her career, she exhibited in France and occasionally in Europe, in confidential but recognized galleries. Although she never sought media attention, her works are now present in several private collections, appreciated for their inner strength and timeless modernity. ⸻ Product sheet for advertisement Title: Original ink on paper – signed Solange Bernard – Contemporary Abstraction Description: Original work created in black ink on paper by the French artist Solange Bernard (1925–2011), a figure of lyrical abstraction of the 20th century.
