This immense flower, in shades of indigo and cyan blue tending towards black, defies the limits of plastic genres. The worked, scraped, impastoed paper is perhaps more sculpture than painting. But in the end, this ambiguity matters little, for the power of the work lies in both the materiality and the intense colors of this flower.
About the author
Michel Haas (1934-2019)
Michel Haas was born in Paris in 1934. He studied philosophy before turning to the visual arts […] Michel Haas draws his inspiration from the world around him. Living in Paris, he paints life in the city: people captured in moments of life in scenes from everyday life, men, couples, cyclists, animals, men drinking, musicians, dancers, trees, flowers, everything that makes up life.
