Louis Cane Biography

(b Beaulieu, Alpes-Maritimes, 13 Dec 1943). French painter and writer. He studied at the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs in Nice and then at the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. He had his first one-man show at the Galerie Givaudan in Paris in 1969. His early works were ‘painted papers’, for example Collage (1967; see Bielefeld exh. cat., p. 51). These were followed by the ‘stamped works’ of 1968 to 1969, created using a repeated design stamped onto canvas, such as Untitled (1968; see Bielefeld exh. cat., p. 48). From 1970 to 1971 he participated in the Supports-Surfaces group, though he was not included in the first exhibition (1970). In 1971 he co-founded and thereafter directed the review Peinture/Cahiers théoriques , originally intended as a mouthpiece for this group. At this time he began to produce his large ‘floor-wall’ canvases, painted in a few colours, which hung from the wall and extended on to the floor at the base. Those of 1974 and 1976 are mainly in black.
