Page after page, he cuts, paces, invents a visual language of striking intensity, somewhere between abstraction and figuration. Conceived as an artist's book, Jazz brings together t…

Art and architecture of the late 20th century
During the second half of the twentieth century, in a world transformed by international tensions, the centre of artistic creation shifted from Europe to the United States.

Turner : Maître et inspiration
Véritable électron libre de son époque, William Turner (1775-1851) était considéré comme le maître de la lumière et fut une révélation pour le mouvement impressionniste. Les peintures de ce paysagiste-voyageur s'intensifièrent avec le temps pour quitter définitivement la réalité figurative et offrir une vision lumineuse et transfigurée de la nature environnante. Visionnaire et en…
