COMPOSITION 656

In his abstract paintings, Ténurb-Géneau, like the painters of the "Lyrical Abstraction" of the 1950s (Mathieu, ZAO Wou Ki, Chu Tey Chun, Hartung, etc.), favours the balance of forms, the "value" and the harmony of colours in compositions where the sweep of his brushes sometimes animates the movement of the whole.
