Transatlantique

Martin Barré - Transatlantique
Six American artists share their invaluable perspectives on the decisive work of Martin Barré.
A major figure in French abstraction of the late 20th century, Martin Barré (1924-1993) probed the fundamental parameters of painting for five decades. During the last 15 years, his work has received increasing attention in the United States. For Transatlantique, Molly Warnock brings together six American artists who share their invaluable perspectives on this decisive work.
