Notre randonnées à durée 4 h avec un plaisir immense qu nous à fait oublier la fatigue .
In June we drove down to the French Riviera to see one of our kids who works there, and on the way back, we visited some wonderful Romanesque churches.
This was not really a seriously planned and prepared trip, and therefore most of the churches were closed and could only be photographed from the outside.
Likewise, I had to forfeit the Thoronet abbey because they do not allow tripods unless one has obtained a special clearance in advance, which I hadn’t. It was nevertheless very enjoyable and, as always, “We shall have to come back!”
The Saint-Martin church in the village of Volonne was built around Year 1000 in small apparel of unrefined and mostly unsquared local pebbles joined together byt lots of mortar. Only the cornerstones and those around the thin and tall windows were slightly more refined.
Inside, the thick columns are made of the same materials and the unadorned capitals are very archaic. Even the relieving arches use good sones only on the outside, the inside is made of blocage filling.
It is a very old church, and a large enough one, but built with very limited means and no refinement whatsoever. It has withstood the test of time, though...
This collection is inspired by Provence in the southern area of France. More specifically, elements like the vegetation and colourful atmosphere of the countryside in the summer. The collection seeks to translate a feeling of Nostalgia linked to a time of recklessness. This is represented through a use of bold colours and naïve aesthetic. The research part looks at how a variety of artists have represented the Mediterranean atmosphere through different medias. In that way, the collection is split in three different categories. The first part looks at stripes; hand drawn coloured stripes with a vintage feel. The kind of stripes and colour combinations you would find on Brigitte Bardot, an interior or a beach umbrella in a 1960’s Godard movie like Pierrot le fou or Le Mépris. The second part looks at Mario Giacomelli 1930’s photographs of laboured fields in Italy. His photos are compositions of textures and graphic lines that have an etching quality. The prints associated with Giacomelli’s work are placement prints. The third aspect of this collection is inspired by Strange plants, a set of two books created by independent publisher Zioxla. The books are looking at strange plants from the views of different artists. The aesthetical focus is on plants that have unusual shapes, like certain cacti that grow in the mediterranean area.
