Pictorial softcover. Dedication by Artist on cover page in biro. Text in French. "The artist is twofold. He is first and foremost the humble and patient inspired follower of the great masters of the Renaissance. The one whose creation is born in the pure tradition of know-how. Grinding the pigments, firing the varnishes and preparing the canvas are all part of these still lives. Peaceful and intimate, these images tell of the contained gesture, continue the story of an art that is a few centuries old." But in the other Grare, that of bodies of water and nature, the hand of the autonomous and daring artist shakes up protocols and invents with greed a completely new vocabulary of colors and techniques. Gouache, watercolour and oil meet on cardboard, paper or canvas and seem to get along on the vibrant terrain of illusory water features.
