Movement and space characterize the work of French painter Geneviève Claisse. A 1970s exhibition review declared that "rigor of form and sensitivity to color is emphasized" in Claisse's most recent works. Of her iconic "cercles," she writes: "the extreme simplicity of the forms is transfigured by the intensity of each distinct colour relationship."
