Amélie Bertrand

On the occasion of Amélie Bertrand's personal exhibition at the museum of the Orangerie in the contemporary Contrepoints cycle, Semiose publishes in collaboration with the museum a catalog polarized around the series of 8 paintings painted especially in response to this invitation. The reproductions are put into perspective with the few tondis painted by Monet (figuring in the collections of the Vernon museum, the MAMC of Saint-Etienne, the museum of Dallas), and photographs of the respective studios of the two artists. As As author Mara Hoberman points out, "Despite stylistic and obvious techniques, there are deep affinities between these two painters modern landscapers who are interested in the feeling that the landscapes, and not just their appearance."
