He is known as " the master of black"

Pierre Soulages, arguably France’s most famous living artist, is known as a master of the colour black. A museum dedicated to his life’s work opened on Friday in Rodez, a town in the south of France where he was born.

If there’s one thing that Pierre Soulages resents, it’s the idea that his career is behind him.
Although the artist is 94, retirement could not be further from his mind. He is still active, creating works either in his studio in Paris or in Sète, a French town on the Mediterranean coast where he splits his time.       Comments to taglines82@gmail.com
