FRENCH LANGUAGE

A "painter of the distant interior if ever there was one", Édouard Manet embodies, in the eyes of Gérard Titus-Carmel, a strangely fertile rupture in the modern relationship with the world. Withdrawn into the night of his being, in what Georges Bataille called "a supreme indifference", the painter washes the world he represents of any pathetic interpretation. But this is to restore its fascinating strangeness, to open up "a state of the world that is much more enigmatic than it appears".
