Notes
This work was created during Coetzee's stay in Paris (1956-1961) and forms part of his vigorous, challenging, and expressive approach to abstract painting. During this time he came into contact with the influential theorist and critic Michel Tapié de Céleyran and gallery owner Rudolphe Stadler, both of whom held his artistic body of work in high regard. Tapié provided a theoretical framework for Coetzee's own intuitive and organic approach and Stadler became a significant promoter and collector of Coetzee's work.
