Further Details
C’est après son arrestation à l’âge de 17 ans par les franquistes espagnols qu’Angel Alonso quitte définitivement l’Espagne pour s’installer à Paris. C’est là-bas qu’il rencontre Nicolas de Staël (1914-1955) et Pierre Tal Coat (1905-1985), qui auront une influence décisive sur son travail. Dès son arrivée à Paris, Alonso s’éloigne volontairement du marché de l’art, soucieux de préserver son œuvre et refuse même d’exposer à la prestigieuse galerie Jeanne Bucher en 1952. L’artiste maintiendra cet écart durant l’essentiel de sa carrière, lui permettant d’entretenir avec la peinture une relation profondément spirituelle et dégagée des impératifs matériels. Son œuvre se caractérise par une exploration de la relation entre la couleur et les matériaux naturels; ces monochromies intègrent fréquemment des éléments issus de la terre, tels que de la paille, des branches et de la boue. Les trois œuvres présentées dans la collection du Comte et de la Comtesse Jean-Jacques de Flers illustrent l’importance que l’artiste accorde à la substance matérielle de la peinture même, dénuée de toute couleur et de tout artifice.
After his arrest by the Spanish Francoists, 17-year-old Angel Alonso (1923-1994) left Spain for good to settle in Paris. This is where he met Nicolas de Staël (1914-1955) and Pierre Tal Coat (1905-1985), who had a decisive influence on his work. As soon as he arrived in Paris, Alonso voluntarily distanced himself from the art market, anxious to preserve his work — he even refused to exhibit at the prestigious Jeanne Bucher gallery in 1952. The artist maintained this distance for most of his career, allowing him to ensure a profoundly spiritual relationship with painting, free from material imperatives. His work is characterised by an exploration of the relationship between colour and natural materials; these monochromes frequently incorporate elements from the earth, such as straw, branches and mud. The three works presented in the collection of the Count and Countess Jean-Jacques de Flers illustrate the importance the artist attaches to the material substance of the painting itself, devoid of all colour and artifice.
