For another, this painting has a global exhibition history. Between 1958 and 1998, this work was shown in eleven countries: from Norway to Switzerland and from Belgium to Japan, this work by the Russian-born French artist has been exhibited in galleries and museums. The back of this “globetrotter painting” with its many stickers and labels has a high aesthetic value in itself. A striking painting from a positive period of change But this painting as such is also enormously strong: the edge - the only real thing that color has to face - delimits three large blocks of color. Sienna ochre takes up almost half of the painting and dominates in quantity. The lower half is occupied by a somewhat larger ivory-white form and a blue-black color field. In the center, the triad of the border zone is condensed by a further triadic constellation: a pink form, below it another in sienna ochre, and a small black triangle meet here. All six fields show the main colors described, but they are not monochrome at all. The artist works intensively with overpainting, allowing deeper layers to show through and placing brushstrokes rich in contrast on the surface. The sienna field in the middle, for example, has a rich green at its edges. The pink field, on the other hand, shows light ivory and darker pink pigment at its boundaries. The rich design of the border zones in particular creates the impression of a collage technique. A foreground and background is suggested to the eye. It can also be observed that the visually so rich, organic-looking forms all have very pointed corners and angles, which seem to condense in the small black. The years between 1951 and 1954 mark an existential turning point in Serge Poliakoff's life: from 1952, the artist was able to make a living from his visual art through a permanent gallery relationship. Before that, he had to earn a living as a guitarist to support his small family. Serge Poliakoff was already highly esteemed in artistic circles (Wassily Kandinsky is quoted as saying in 1938: “For the future, I'm backing Poliakoff”, quoted from: https://www.lecoindesarts.com/de/biographie-serge-poliakoff), and at the beginning of the 1950s, critics and collectors also began to take notice of him. In 1953, the artist was able to present his first major solo exhibition at the Palais des Beaux Arts in Brussels; a first solo exhibition in the United States (Gallery Circle & Square, New York) followed later that same year. It is only logical that museums and curators have repeatedly requested this painting, which is visually so striking and dates from such a positive period of change in the artist's career. This is a testament to its significance in the oeuvre of the master of the “École de Paris”. Alexandra Bresges-Jung.

Poliakoff, A Retrospective, Museum Würth, Sigmaringen 1997, p. 211, ill. - Large-format, powerfully fresh painting by the "Grandseigneurs" of the École de Paris - Late work, characterised by its bright colours and clearly defined colour fields - At the time of its creation, Poliakoff was highly respected, honoured with international prizes and had represented his new home country at the Venice Biennale Poliakoff's art universe Serge Poliakoff comes from the educated Russian upper class and has been fascinated by icon painting since his childhood. After the Russian Revolution, he came to Paris at the age of 24, via an adventurous route. Here, at the end of the 1940s, Poliakoff developed his very typical non-representational, but always organic-looking color fields, also under the influence of Robert and Sonia Delaunay, Wassily Kandinsky and Otto Freundlich. Poliakoff's paintings are not abstractions, because they are not based on reality. His color fields are autonomous in themselves. The relationships between the forms and colors, the arrangement of the elements within the only reality that is the boundaries of the canvas, that is Poliakoff's genuine artistic universe. Melodious Paintings Serge Poliakoff is not only a painter, but also a musician, and until the 1950s he earned his living mainly as a guitarist. As a musician and as a painter, harmony and tension, tonality and rhythm are the defining elements for him. Analogous to music, Poliakoff composes with colors, he “hears” their contrasts and the emotions they evoke. Ideally, the viewer of his works should “find a positive calm that opens people's eyes to another world.” (Henkel, Katharina: Serge Poliakoff and his artistic environment, in: Exh. Cat. Serge Poliakoff - Retrospective, Kunsthalle Emden 2006. P. 66) This is where the circle closes to the icon as a spiritual meditation medium. Three color values meet on this large canvas, which is the largest format Serge Poliakoff ever worked on: a deep, almost earthy, dark red, a coral pink, and a bright yellow. Three polygonal surfaces are assigned to each of these colors. In the center, two almost equally sized and similarly shaped forms of the lightest and darkest values meet. Their common boundary forms the central axis of the painting. Outwards, towards the edge of the painting, these two forms are enclosed predominantly by the “middle value” coral pink. In addition, to a lesser extent, the dark red is enclosed by the bright yellow (bottom) and the bright yellow by the dark red (top). It is noticeable that the lower left corners of these two central shapes are each adjacent to the corner of a field of the same color. In the upper part of the painting, the corners of two coral pink fields also touch. Composition abstraite The viewer is unlikely to consciously perceive or analyze this distribution of color values; but this structure gives the overall composition its rhythm and balance. In Serge Poliakoff's late work, to which the present painting also belongs, the colors become more radiant. In addition, the surfaces become larger and the artist applies the pigments in the upper layers transparently, so that the background shimmers through. The clear, angular forms take on a great liveliness and the painting process, the artist's handwriting, becomes legible. The combination of artistic decisions – for a large format, for bright colors, for large forms and a lively internal drawing – gives this late work of the painter a strong presence and great sublimity.

Revolutionary and disturbing avant-garde works of art in the post-war period, now established classics of the ‘Nouvelle École de Paris’, it takes time to look behind the superficial ‘curtain’ of decorative colour fields. Shades of grey dominate this ‘Composition abstraite’ from 1956. In large, sometimes very angular colour fields, they occupy the peripheral zone of the canvas. Smaller, coloured forms are built into the centre: a rich yellow, a light pink, a black and, as the only two-tone colour, red, which appears in a larger, angular form and in a smaller, approximate rectangle. The warm red pigment has spread across the entire painting. It appears in almost all the other colour fields, either as a shimmering, deeper-lying colour or as the last overpainting. Like a bracket, the red pigment connects the surfaces, which begin to oscillate when viewed for a longer period of time. Overpaintings and underpaintings, as practised by Serge Poliakoff, could lead to the paintings changing over the years. Serge Poliakoff respected this ‘independent existence’ of his pictures. He liked the patina and also the fact that the paintings revealed their process of creation. Well-deserved recognition This painting dates from the phase of Serge Poliakoff's life in which he was now fully established after many decades of uncertainty. He was sure of his own artistic expression and had achieved a financial basis since 1952 that enabled him to make a living from his art. Now, four years later, his social and artistic recognition is so great that he and his family have their first permanent residence in Paris and can also afford some luxuries with which the artist, who grew up in the upper-middle-class circles of Moscow, is familiar: he becomes the owner of a racehorse and a (used) Rolls Royce. In 1956, the year this painting was created, Poliakoff won the prestigious Premio Lissone and the first monograph on his work was published.

Poliakoff, Serge Poliakoff, Catalogue raisonné, vol. IV, 1963–1965, Munich 2011, no. 63–47 with ill. “Poliakoff’s paintings are revealed from the interior rather than the exterior. This is true, not only for the structure and organization of his pictures, but also for the dimensions of his art. It is abstract and is remote from all nature because it is Nature itself. It has not even the slightest connection with the figurative world. In parallel with the progressive refinement of the components, the understatement of its forms, its enhanced simplicity and muted shading – which almost leads to the secret realm of monochrome-, give it an increasing sense of spirituality, gravity and sanctity. These paintings owe nothing to their exterior; they have no particular message. Rather, they invite one to be absorbed by them; they encourage meditation and are open to it”. Wieland Schmied, Extract from his preface to Serge Poliakoff Catalogue Raisonné, Munich 2011
