Caspar David Friedrich, whose memory is being celebrated this year, elevated nature, that great Whole of which humans are only a part, to the status of counterweight to triumphant rationalism. He reveals himself as a thinker of this founding antagonism of our modernity.
Pouvait-on imaginer un «Regard Libre» centré sur le monde rural sans y faire figurer l’icône helvétique ultime? Mais la Suisse n’a pas l’exclusivité du bovidé. Sans même aller jusqu’en Inde, pensez aux Etats-Unis! Et même… à la Corse, où pourtant elles sont rares.

The Kunsthaus deserves the gold award for the title of exhibition thanks to «Re-Orientations», on view until July 16. A contemporary and enlightening, if confusing, look at the influence of European art on Islamic art and vice versa, since 1851.
If the «filles de Camaret» have been immortalized in a song that's more bawdy than downright poetic, it's indeed a form of poetry - but rusty, faded, salty, abandoned - that haunts the boat graveyard at Camaret-Sur-Mer, at the end of the Crozon peninsula in Brittany's Finistère region.
