Andre Marfaing

André Marfaing was a French artist known for his abstract paintings and prints.

Marfaing's work was heavily influenced by the Abstract Expressionist movement in the United States, which he discovered during a trip to New York in the early 1950s. He became interested in the potential of color and texture to convey emotion and mood, and he began to develop his own distinctive style characterized by bold, geometric forms and a limited palette of earthy tones.

Marfaing's work often featured large, block-like shapes that seemed to float or hover against a background of textured color. He worked primarily in oil on canvas, but also produced prints and drawings that reflected his interest in the relationship between line and form.

Throughout his career, Marfaing exhibited his work extensively in France and internationally. He was also awarded numerous prizes and honors.

Marfaing's work can be found in many private collections and museums, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, and the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.
