Landscapes & Adventures
Guitarist (linen canvas)
Original title: Guitariste (toile de lin)
A guitarist bent over his instrument, with his whole mind in his hands.
White shirt, dark waistcoat, head inclined: he is listening to what his fingers are doing. The black ground, barely rubbed with red, isolates the honey-coloured guitar and the two hands, which are painted with even more care than the face. Not to be confused with the 2004 Guitarist: no symbols here, only music as it is being made.

About the series
The Adventures are off-road escapes — fords, forest tracks, deep woods — shown alongside landscapes painted for their own sake: Corsica, the Forest of Fontainebleau. The format stays that of the easel, to keep the painting at eye level.
