Sans titre, 1971

This acrylic on paper from 1971, with dominant red and navy blue tones, evokes a search for musicality, balance and spontaneity. In the words of Schneider: “One must see abstract painting as one listens to music, feel the emotional interiority of the work without seeking identification with any kind of figurative representation. What is important, thus, is not to see the abstract, it is to feel it. [...]”. This painting expresses all the sincerity and candor of Schneider's aesthetic approach, in a composition that is both tempestuous and harmonious. The brushstrokes, as witnesses of the painter's state of mind, transcribe his inner turmoil into a colorful symphony.
