Between 1987 and 1994, Pierre Soulages created the 104 stained-glass windows of the Sainte-Foy-de-Conques abbey church, creating uncolored and translucent glass that respects the variations of natural light. In a new text, Bruno Duborgel takes a new look at the research work of the artist who made more than 700 attempts before achieving the desired result! By bringing Pierre Soulages' reflections into dialogue with interior and exterior views of the church's stained-glass windows, the text reveals the artist's long creative adventure, traversed by aesthetic, spiritual, and technological questions. Pierre Soulages' stained-glass windows thus express the passage of time. Their "physical" nature is a springboard for a poetic experience, a meditation of a metaphysical order. It reveals a light that, in the artist's words, "proposes contemplation, silence, concentration, interiority."
