Seuphor, Michel
Seuphor, Michel (b Antwerp, 10 Mar. 1901; d Paris, 12 Feb. 1999). Belgian-born painter, printmaker, writer, and editor who became a French citizen in 1954. In 1925 he settled in Paris, where he was one of the founders of the Cercle et Carré association of abstract artists in 1929 and editor of its journal. His own paintings were in a geometrical abstract style (he also made prints in a variety of techniques), but he is better known for his writings. They include a standard book on abstract art, L'Art abstrait: ses origines, ses premiers maîtres (1949), and dictionaries of abstract painting (1957) and modern sculpture (1959), all of which have been translated into English. Seuphor also wrote poetry.
