What was Alfred Manessier’s artistic intent in 1956?
By 1956, Manessier was blending spiritualism with lyrical abstraction. In -12°, he sought to capture the 'internal landscape'—the emotional and sensory experience of winter rather than a literal representation of a cold day.
Why is this specific piece significant in the history of abstraction?
Manessier’s work represents a bridge between the structural rigor of stained glass and the freedom of abstract expressionism. This piece is a hallmark of the School of Paris, emphasizing meditative light and rhythmic color.
