Here are some notes on
Corot's influence on me and my understanding of art.
The necessity
and cohesion of color, the acceptance of one another, a plot of
gray where the color barely emerges musically damped, without ever break the
atmospheric totality that makes all of his paintings a solid.
Far from the great
contrasts, he shows us a rich and vibrant pictorial surface.
The light and dark, full of
chromatic nuances, takes us from light to darkness in slow and lively
transitions, free of abruptness, without ever reaching the extremes, as
allowing a place to infinity.
The color slowly emerges
from the gray to give us a temperature or to put us in a certain time
of the day, in a season, in a state of intimacy.
