    Biography of Sean Scully

    Born in Dublin in 1945,  Sean Scully, is an Irish American painter. First, he attended typographer classes. He is one of the best-known living abstract painters of his generation. Sean Scully’s great achievement has been the reinvigoration of abstract paintings. Influenced by Rothko and Mondrian, inspired by Matisse and Van Gogh, since the beginning Sean Scully has abandoned figuration. His paintings, with pleasant austerity, develop themes like grids, stripes and checkerboard. He is also a famous engraver;  his graphic works show his complicated way with the insistence on the materials and concrete production. Sean Scully graphic works make up Scully the manual worker with Scully the artist. Revealed to French public by the exhibition presented at the Galerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume in october 1966, Sean Scully never stopped to receive, these last past years, evidences of international recognition: retrospective at Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, Francfort, Barcelona, Bologna, Munich, Dublin museums, and more. He is represented in the permanent collections of the Guggenheim Museum in New-York, the National Gallery in Washington, the Fort Worth Museum in Texas and the Albertina Museum  in Vienna.

Artists on display

The art and the artists display: proclamations, galleries, museums, personal or collective exhibitions. On walls or in shop windows, wise or rebels, posters warn, argue, show. Some were specially conceived by an artist for such or such event, other, colder, have only the letter.

Some were created in lithographic technic, most are simple offset reproductions. They are many those who like collecting these rectangles of paper, monochrome or in games of colours, in matt paper or brilliant, with many words or almost dumb.

We are happy also to be able to greet, by this pages, mythical galleries as those of Denise René, Louis Carré, Claude Bernard, Berheim Jeune, Maeght, Pierre Loeb and others.
