Mariales and Manteaux de la Vierge (1960-64)

1960 was a major turning point when the folding method was used systematically in the Mariales et des Manteaux de la Vierge. Simon Hantaï said "The canvas is evenly creased and only the folded zones remaining on the surface are painted." The actual Mariales series comprises 27 works, divided into four groups, identified by a letter (A, B, C, D) and a number.
