Saw below recently at the Bechtler. (from the show placard) “Inspired by the environment of his birthplace in northern France, Alfred Manessier began to paint landscapes at an early age. Although his work became increasingly abstract in the postwar period, landscape subjects persisted throughout his career-specific places, indeterminate settings, and, as in Northern Spring, the seasons and his impressions of being in nature. The painting doesn’t portray recognizable objects; nevertheless, the lush green background teeming with jewel-like dabs of color surrounding a bright orange “sun” calls to mind a field of flowers in bloom.”
