Rythmes et vibrations
Right from the start of abstract art, there was a split between two lines, indicating seemingly opposed tendencies: on the one hand a structured and economical art, often proscribing curves, seeming to privilege the cerebral and programmatic, and on the other, a warmer and more informal art in which spontaneity and sensitivity imposed their rhythm. Yet these two lines have never ceased overlapping and enriching each other. In the case of many painters, they co-exist or succeed one another.

Marc Desgrandchamps
At the Salon - When Marc Desgranchamps was commissioned by its publisher for the Louis Vuitton Travel Book collection, he chose Barcelona. He wandered throughout the city, absorbing its atmosphere, grasping its landscape and scenery, using his camera to capture some details.

Pierre Alechinsky
From 1948 with his series of etchings, “Les Métiers”, Pierre Alechinsky placed prints at the very heart of his work. Later, with the artistic collaboration of S.W. Hayter or Walter Rossi, Peter Bramsen, Frank Bordas, Piero Crommelynck and Robert Dutrou (to name but a few) he worked continuously on copper, wood, lino, stone or zinc, producing a body of engraved work that is exceptional for its duration, scope and variety. The artist has taken from his files a series of paper works that are a rare testimony to the stages in this creative process.
