Henri-Jean Closon (1888-1975) was one of the pioneers of the abstraction. I'm trying to find a method to have similar style. Have anyone an idea ?
Thanks.

Here's one possible idea. Using the Vectorizer to generate rectangles associated with source regions. Then using the Rank Edge ip op effect configured to expand the rectangular edges.

Thank you very much John, that's a good beginning. Didn't know if I must begin with MSG, Vecto or paint synth. OK will explore :-)
I looked at some of his other images online. Some of them go for a smoother curvy look as opposed to rectangular. But he does seem to use the interleaved shape borders a lot. The Rank Edge ip op is good for generating that kind of thing. So if you started with smooth shapes rather than a rectangular vectorizer effect, you'd get smooth shapes with the interleaeved border effect.
As far as matching the coloring sensibility (which the rank edge ip op definitely does not do), you could try generating custom color palettes, or capturing some from his paintings, and use those for coloring the regions in.
