Olivier Debré (1920–1999) was a French abstract painter. ==Biography== It is following a visit to Pablo Picasso’s studio in1941 that Olivier Debré, an honoured artist and member of the French Academy, moved from figurative painting to abstraction, and the influence of André Lanskoy that awakened his marked fondness for colour. A major painter of colour fields of the Post-War period, this painter described his painting as ''"fervent abstraction"'' because it arouses emotions, emotion incarnated by him by the sign. "''I really tried to find how within a sign and without using conventions, I could express something without using illustration either.''" Olivier Debré After the majestic ''Signes-figures'' of the 1950s using a subdued palette and matter, the ''Signes-paysages'' from the 1960s appeared where the matter stretches, becomes fluid allowing light and transparency to emerge. A painter of immense spaces, Olivier Debré’s work has taken shape in large scale stage sets: curtains for the Comédie Française (1987), for the Hong Kong Opera (1989) requested by the foundation Louis Vuitton, and for the new Shanghai Opera House. ''"When I paint on the ground, there is a physical adherence that is sensual, almost sexual."'' Olivier Debré The painter’s work has also been the subject of a fantastic contemporary ballet: ''Signes'' directed by the choreographer Carolyn Carlson. A unique performance that associates painting, music and dance, presented at the Bastille Opera in Paris in 1997 and performed again in July 2013. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Olivier Debré」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
