COMPOSITON 809

Sometimes deviating from lyrical abstraction towards a more classical representation, the painter Tenurb-Geneau likes to imagine compositions like these, where landscapes take the liberty of merging with abstraction. A form of encounter that the Franco-Chinese painter Chu Tey Chun used to call "abstract landscapes". Without forgetting that the painter Turner took so many liberties with classical figuration in his time, particularly in his seascapes, that he can be described as the precursor of lyrical abstraction.
