Eau-forte I

Pierre Soulages

This edition was the first print ever made by Pierre Soulages, dating from 1952. Soulages' first explorations in print were in the medium of etching and aquatint. Soulages was persuaded to try etching by Mme Lacourière, the wife of a printer and publisher, who had been inspired to approach the artist after having seen his paintings through the window of the Galerie Carré in Paris. In 1951 he visited the Lacourières' neighbouring studio, and his first etchings date from the following year.
