André Marfaing (1925-1987) est un peintre et graveur non figuratif français associé à l'abstraction et à l'art informel. Ce catalogue raisonné constitue un répertoire complet de son oeuvre peint, depuis ses premières peintures de « jeunesse » (1948-1952) jusqu'à ses dernières oeuvres achevées en 1986. À la fin des années 1940, Marfaing commence son aventure avec la peinture. Ses premiers essais sont des natures mortes, des paysages ou encore des portraits. En 1952, l'artiste franchit le pas de la non-figuration, une étape fondamentale qui le conduit très vite à l'abstraction. Ses huiles sur toile sont marquées par une prédominance du noir, appliqué en couches épaisses. La violence et la vivacité des gestes s'y révèlent. L'artiste fait apparaître des contrastes entre le noir et le blanc, entre l'ombre et la lumière, entre le vide et le plein. À partir de 1971, Marfaing se tourne vers la peinture acrylique, ce qui engendre des modifications formelles au coeur de sa peinture. Ses toiles deviennent alors plus épurées et ascétiques. Ce catalogue raisonné retrace pas à pas le chemin de l'artiste, donnant à découvrir les oeuvres, les écrits, les amitiés et les combats de ce grand représentant de l'art abstrait en France.

André Marfaing (1925–87) was a French non-figurative painter and printmaker associated with abstract art and informalism. This catalogue raisonné of is a complete repertory of his painted work, from his initial “youth” paintings (1948–52) until his last works completed in 1986. 1952, the year he took up non-figuration, was a fundamental step that led him very quickly to abstraction. His first forays into painting, his earlier figurative canvases, still lifes, landscapes and even his few portraits, live on as witnesses to his apprenticeship and as pointers to an artistic adventure that remained latent. The use of acrylic, which gained ground in 1970, led to formal inflections that reached into the heart of his painting.
Marfaing probes what is deepest in others as well as his own private space, the confines of a nature within, a cosmos without landscape, a terrain whose contours and features he ceased depicting long ago. The present catalogue raisonné retraces such a path step by step, following up the clues and noting the silences, without ever dissipating the mystery that Marfaing knew how to fathom and to sustain. One must follow these traces as he himself proceeded – with humility, to come to him in the same way his painting calls us. His works, his writings, his friendships, his struggles form an inter woven and inextricable whole.
