Beauty

“My idea was that you could reveal almost everything with very little [...] With the help of some of most beautiful women in the world, I endeavoured to say something different, something passionate about beauty.”

Flatness in pictorial art

July 3, 2011 | by | Leave a Comment

“It has been established by now, it would seem, that the irreducibility of pictorial art consists in but two constitutive conventions or norms: flatness and the delimitation of flatness. In other words, the observance of merely these two norms is enough to create an object which can be experienced as a picture: thus a stretched or tacked-up canvas already exists as a picture – though not necessarily as a successful one.”

Clement Greenberg, “After Abstract Expressionism” (1962)

Photography: Rousdine

January 18, 2011 | by | Leave a Comment

Without taking anything else into consideration but the sensitivity and the accuracy that Dorine Roussel offers us in these photographs, we were touched by the work of this young photographer from Lille, who often looks at the integration of the body of her models into their environment.

First and fine exhibition at the Superior School of Communication (esupcom) in May 2008 in Lille.
