"Raw. Sometimes, on the grid, only one painting breathes, it's Fantin-Latour's Un atelier aux Batignolles, and it's crazy to see it like that, without the ennoblement of the exhibition room, without the staging, the lighting, the distance, without the appropriate neighbours. The reality of the canvas is more powerful, its surface more present, its material more tangible. As if the work were naked. Everything seems more concrete to me in the reserves. Harsh and raw.
Maylis de Kerangal
Invited by the Musée d'Orsay to revisit its collections, Maylis de Kerangal and Jean-Philippe Delhomme had the opportunity to survey the institution's storerooms, the secret place where works are kept when they are not visible to the public.
This book is the result of their joint visits, in which Jean-Philippe Delhomme's paintings are echoed by an unpublished text by Maylis de Kerangal, testifying to their impressions of these works in waiting.
