Provenance: Henry GALY-CARLES Collection Gérard Schneider, who has exhibited alongside Hans Hartung and Pierre Soulages, is one of the great figures of Lyrical Abstraction. "You have to see abstract painting as you would listen to music, to feel the emotional interiority of the work without trying to identify it with any kind of figurative representation. What's important, then, is not to see the abstract, but to feel it. If music touches me, moves me, then I've understood something, I've received something. Gérard Schneider
