Marthe Wéry (1930-2005) was a professor of painting at the Institut Saint-Luc in Brussels. Her first solo exhibition was held in 1965 in the Galerie Saint-Laurent in Brussels. After the presentation of her work in Ghent, Brussels, Cologne, Amsterdam, the Venice Biennale 1982, in the Musée d’Art Contemporain de Montreal, there was a personal exhibition in Lyon in 1988: “La couleur seule, l’expérience du monochrome”. It is precisely her monochromes that are known to the international public.” All my work, “she said,” is a fundamental research to experience the surface. Fundamental and elementary: that is, primarily by seeking and searching from the essentials by means of his minimum. “This relentless search leads her early in her career to the abstraction in which monochromy and repetition dominate, sometimes in the form of checkerboard patterns, then again in a pattern of shadow lines. She used all possibilities of the surface and the color in function of opacity or transparency. She often worked in series, both in paintings and graphics, and succeeded in creating monumental and at the same time fragile compositions that shape and model the space.
