A relative to Auguste Herbin, her painting vocation was born through reading the magazine Art d'aujourd'hui, tribune of geometrical abstraction.

[2] Claisse was the great niece of abstract painter Auguste Herbin, a founder of the Parisian association of artists Abstraction-Création.

Like Herbin, Claisse's work shows a devotion to the ideals of formal purity and the perfection of execution.

(My vocabulary is open to the research of movement – and of multiple spaces – which animates the plan of the painted surface.

The circle and the triangle, addressed one after the other and separately, are my favorite topics of serial compositions where the extreme simplicity of the shapes is transfigured by the intensity, every time different of the color relationship) Geneviève Claisse
