Georges Mathieu (1921-2012) was a French abstract painter, art theorist, and member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris.

Mathieu is considered one of the fathers of the European lyrical abstraction, a trend of informalism.

“Mathieu’s works, enriching the collections of dozens of museums worldwide as well as countless private individuals, continue to resonate in the mind of the public, both for their intuitive approach and their dynamic vitality” – Édouard Lombard, Director of the Georges Mathieu Committee.
