Meuns (1966-68)
With this series, named after the village of Meun (Seine-et-Marne), where Simon Hantaï settled in 1965, the white, or “non-painted” part takes precedence.
"The canvas is folded in the four corners and the centre, then covered with one single colour. A few strokes of the brush highlight a few folds or blank areas here and there." (S.H.)
