Lyrical Abstraction
リリカル・アブストラクション / 1947–1970s / Style / Gestural Abstraction
Abstraction qui ne s'appuie ni sur la discipline géométrique ni sur le geste violent, mais compose son lyrisme par des touches fluides et des couleurs qui se diffusent. L'appellation, née à Paris, servit plus tard aux États-Unis à désigner la peinture en couches minces et en imprégnation. Une référence pour construire la douceur et la légèreté.
Touches fluides / Couches de diffusions superposées / Couleurs légères et transparentes / Composition sans centre

Entrée du dictionnaire
- Usages idéaux
- Covers and backgrounds where the mark must feel made by hand and weightless at once, as in poetry, chamber music or wellness · Large washes for packaging and interiors that need to avoid both the corporate mesh gradient and the heavy painterly cliche
- Typographie
- A light-weight seriffed face set small at one corner, never crossing the centre of the wash.
- Composition
- An all-over, centreless field running past all four edges, offering the eye no anchor and no focal incident.
- Matière
- Thinned colour on an absorbent ground, so the pigment spreads and the edge is decided by the substrate rather than by the hand.
- Précaution
- Placing one confident stroke in the middle: a centred gesture turns the field into a logo and destroys the drift the style is made of.
