His contribution to the development of abstractionism and the search for new forms of expression had a significant influence on subsequent generations of artists.

Among Herbin’s most famous works, one can highlight his participation in the creation of the “Route of Auguste”, a concept emphasizing the importance of the artist’s individual contribution to culture and the rejection of traditional forms in favor of experimental approaches to painting. This idea is reflected in numerous works located in prestigious galleries and private collections around the world.
