Ausst. u.d.T.: Correspondances : Brice Marden/Gustave Courbet

Résumé du livre

The Musee d'Orsay invites contemporary artists to dialogue with its collections by picking a work they feel close to. This is an opportunity both to see the collections in a fresh light and to give a novel resonance to their own still active modernity. A figure of minimalist abstraction, Brice Marsden has chosen Courbet's The Trout alongside which to present a new work, Extremes, a diptych with layers of material vibrating in the complex play of colourful lines.
