  • Biography from Martin & Asso. & Hôtel des Ventes de Metz

    Philippe Morisson is a painter, author of collages, and recorder (lithographer and etcher) of geometric abstract born in Deauville in 1924. He arrived in Paris in 1960, installed at 17 Spear Street (13th district), and died in Paris December 28, 1994. From 1940 to 1945 Morisson painted in realityIn 1945, he adopted the non-figuration. First bushy kind of lyrical abstraction, gathering tapes and strips, vertical bush, torn through the white lining which it provides its forms. Collage painting succeeds collages. Already, it is chromatiste. In 1959, he painted over only horizontal stripes. With a concern for color, space and serenity constantly renewed. The colors are close in a dominant color. The strips are punctured as Fontana, but horizontally, and when they are black, they would be taken to a sham. The game of the strips lets see white space like a bright light piercing the blinds.
