CAZIEL 1963-1967: Painting Lacerated Rhythms

Caziel’s paintings dating 1963-1967 demonstrate an exciting development in his research into Abstraction during his last years in France, before moving to England.

Previously, in 1951, Caziel had joined the ‘Groupe Espace’, whose program of uniting Constructivist art with architecture, promoted the creation of a new environment appropriate to the society of the modern age. At that time, the legendary art dealer Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler had invited Caziel to join his stable of figurative artists headed by Picasso, assuming that Caziel’s abstract work was an experiment. Caziel declined the offer with the auspicious words ‘Non, je suis abstrait’ – No, I am abstract.

Caziel’s 1950s Abstraction was sourced in the ideas of Kandinsky and Miró of transcending the second and third dimension. His 1950s expression of the fourth dimension resulted in paintings of superimposed biomorphic shapes and lines in strong colours, often against a black background, the paint being applied in a traditional fashion. These works reverberate light, space and rhythm, in order to create a sensation similar to emotions engendered by music.

Caziel’s adherence to Abstraction was a natural acceptance of the result of his logical and emotional development, instead of a choice merely based on aesthetic grounds. As such, Caziel’s statement of ‘I am abstract’ instead of ‘I am an Abstractionist’ is all telling. Caziel’s annual submissions to the ‘Salon de mai’ during 1948-1956, where his work was shown alongside Vasarely, Hartung and Manessier confirmed his progress in his dedication to the abstract cause.

Around 1955, Caziel started to apply small areas of impasto to his canvasses, appearing to mimic biomorphic or lichen-like growths.

By 1963, Caziel’s paintings show long streaks of colour, the effect of which is reminiscent of the 1950s so-called ‘affiches lacérées’ of Jacques Villeglé (French, born 1926). Caziel’s painted ‘déchirages’, the technique of tearing dry paper by free-hand, usually reveal a rich black background (cat. nos. 10, 11 and 12). These works are dramatic in their expression and thoroughly modern in their origin. The concept of destructuralisation of imagery had come to Caziel’s attention in 1948 when he had befriended Picasso. Subsequently, during the 1950s, France had been in the grip of the philosophical method of inquiry called phenomenology as defined by Edmund Husserl (1859-1938) during the early 20th Century. The German philosopher’s theories took centre stage again when the French philosopher Jacques Derrida (1930-2004) closely studied Husserl's published works. Phenomenology rejects the rationalist partiality in favour of a method of reflective attentiveness that unveils the individual's ‘lived experience’. Intentionality, self-awareness and embodiment are basic features of the 3

phenomenological consciousness. In an equivalent way, in his experience of painting, Caziel understood and demonstrated that the goal was to understand experience by comprehending and describing its genesis, the process of its emergence from an origin or event. Caziel was aware of the theory of phenomenology but his understanding of experience as a description of its genesis also seems to have been an innate quality. As such Caziel’s development during 1963-1967 reflects the essence of contemporary French philosophical debate, to those who are receptive to it.

The key-year 1965 announces the development from the dark paintings rich in texture to create the lacerated effect as seen in cat. nos. 6, 8, and 9, to paintings with a more frugal application of the paint against a white background, exemplified in cat. nos. 1, 2, 5, 7, 13 and 14. Initially both black and white background oil paintings from 1965 still show the lacerated effect. As the year went on, Caziel’s painting transformed into works made up of small organic shapes making up a larger composition, leaving much of the white background visible. In a letter to his wife Catherine, who was sojourning with her parents in Scotland, Caziel wrote on 10 September 1965: ‘Yesterday it seemed that I painted my canvas only to unpick it to its limits. I understand the painter Malevich who painted the white square on the white ground’. Colour-wise Caziel’s palette of 1965 was predominantly composed of white, and the three primary colours of blue, yellow and red.

In 1967, Caziel painted a series of seductive interlocking organic shapes as seen in cat. nos. 21, 22, 23, 29 and 31. During the same year, following years of intense research, Caziel finally arrived at painting geometrical shapes against a white background (cat. nos. 19, 20, 32, 33, 34, 35, 38 and 39). These works are the result of Caziel’s intentionality to commit himself to push his research into Abstraction, his self-awareness and willingness to lay himself bare in his paintings, so that they become the embodiment of his thought, emotion and self. They are the end of a long journey, from Giotto, through Cézanne and Picasso, passing by Kandinsky and Malevich, the reading of philosophy and art, which stimulated Caziel on his pursuit for creating paintings that demand the acceptance of pre-reflective self-consciousness in order to experience the different levels and interpretations of the immediate phenomenon. In addition, Caziel’s aesthetic reflects his immersion with the world and his attempt to depict pure essential ideas. These concepts of consciousness of the journey, and the aesthetic of essence were key to Caziel’s development.

At the beginning of his 1960s outburst of creativity starting in 1963, Caziel was living in the village of Ponthévrard, with his wife Catherine Sinclair and their five-year old daughter Clementina. The present group of paintings encapsulates the happiest period of Caziel’s life when he and his muse Catherine lived out their dream existence in this rural paradise located on the South-West outskirts of Paris. Ten years prior, Caziel and Catherine had moved there from Paris, to escape the gossip of their love-affair which had started back in April 1952, when Caziel was still legally married to the Polish painter Lutka Pink.

The headstrong artistic daughter of Sir Archibald Sinclair, Secretary of State for Air during the Second World War, with her impeccable education and social graces was not destined to fall in love with a penniless artist. Neither did Catherine wish to cause a society scandal by introducing her lover to her parents, whilst Lutka had not agreed to a divorce. Thus Katy, as Caziel affectionately called her, embarked on a double life for four long agonising years.

In 1955 Catherine’s announcement of her love for Caziel was received by her parents, to her own surprise, with delight. Following his official divorce from Lutka in November 1956, Catherine and Caziel were married in Paris during June 1957. A year later their happy union brought forth a daughter, Clementina. Twelve years of marital bliss were lived at PonthÊvrard before the family moved to Somerset, England, where Caziel and Catherine remained until their respective deaths in 1988 and 2007.
