Parisian 6
huile sur toile, 97×130 cm
“A painting is something quite different from an arbitrary cut-up in external reality. Because of the frame, there is a center resulting from the intersection of the two diagonals. And the artist’s skill lies in provoking the viewer’s eye to a shift, a dialogue between this geometric center and the one that, perhaps through color and drawing— but especially through something else!— emerges from the composition. I should rather say a focal point, creating a pull, a common call coming from within and addressed to all the different objects that the frame forces to do something together; and why not use the real word, a sense! which constitutes what is called the subject… it is about an idea, rebellious or not, to the formula.” — Paul Claudel, L’œil écoute
