Reading, knowledge and silence · Works to live with books
Readers, scholars, libraries and objects of knowledge make up a collection designed for spaces for reading, reflection and transmission.
A painting intended for a library can prolong the atmosphere of books without becoming pure illustration. Vuillard makes La Bibliothèque a dense interior where shelves, patterns and figures share the same intimate surface. Vermeer represents The Geographer at the precise moment when study becomes intuition: light, the map and the compass organize the movement of thought. Carl Spitzweg approaches the subject with humor in The Bookworm, a reader perched in the middle of shelves which seem to constitute his entire world. Arcimboldo finally transforms books, bookmarks and face bindings into The Librarian; knowledge literally becomes portrait. These works give to the library alternately warmth, concentration, fantasy and visual intelligence. The "Paintings for libraries" selection notably compares La Bibliothèque - Édouard Vuillard and Le Géographe - Johannes Vermeer. His reading favors composition.
In a library, the ideal painting does not distract from books: it prolongs their silence, their curiosity and their power of imagination.
