'''Georges Mathieu''' (1921 - ) is a [[French]] [[painter]], [[sculptor]], designer and illustrator. He gained an international reputation in the 1950’s in the style of [[Lyrical Abstraction]] since his expositions in US and Japan and especially after the 1963 Grande Rétrospective au Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de [[Paris]].
<blockquote>
''His large paintings are created very rapidly and impulsively. Despite his unconventional technique, he considers himself a historical painter working with abstract subject matter.'' [http://wwar.com/masters/m/mathieu-georges.html]
</blockquote>
Mathieu's works have been exposed at: the Venice Biennales of 1948, 1950, and 1956, and in 1952 in a one-man show in Paris. [http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/869982/Georges-Mathieu] He wrote in 1967 ''Le Privilège d'être''.
