<Cercle Paysage>

Geneviève Asse, a proponent of pure abstraction, focused on the subtle chromatic variations of light in her paintings. Influenced by the 19th-century British painter Joseph Mallord William Turner, Asse drew inspiration from the landscapes of her native Brittany in France, distilling them into luminous vibrations. Cercle Paysage Circle Landscape stands out in her oeuvre – typically dominated by monochrome blue – as one of her rare works capturing the fluctuations of the sky. As the title suggests, the depiction of a reddish sun, partially veiled by mist, also serves as a subtle variation on the circle motif.
