Geneviève ASSE (1921-2023). Porcelain dinner service with blue geometric decoration. 1993. Decorated in Sèvres. Includes: - 12 plates - 12 dessert plates - 12 bread plates. Note: Geneviève Bodin, known as Geneviève Asse, is a French painter and engraver. She worked with the Manufacture nationale de Sèvres from 1978 onwards, creating decorations, notably for the Diane service for the Elysée Palace. She is known for "bleu Asse", a particular use of blue in her monochromes. "This color came to me spontaneously. There's always been blue in my painting, but it grew on me from the 1970s onwards. It came looking for me, then gradually spread." Recently exhibited at the Musée Soulages in May 2025, his work resonates with that of Pierre Soulage, a contemporary also working with monochrome colors.
