Sans titre
1968
When the Romanian André Cadere settled in France in 1967, he was making a kind of Op Art with folkloric and psychedelic touches, an art that reached its conclusion in a series of paintings of 1968-1969. Representing a form of abstraction highly distinctive at the time, the painting here introduces the play of chromatic permutations that would characterize the “Round Wooden Bars” to come. Between 1971 and his untimely death in 1978, Cadere made a name for himself as one of the most radical artists of the decade. He would set his round bars out in the street or in other people’s exhibitions. Paintings with no top or bottom, without back or front, they functioned as transitional objects, pretexts for discussion and reflection on the status of the work of art.
