The Matter of Painting

Culture · Friday, November 6 · 16:00 · Nantes

Musée d'arts de Nantes, 10 Rue Georges Clemenceau

Paintings are physical objects, not just images. This lecture explores the materiality of painting, observing the different elements that compose it and various techniques; grisaille, sfumato, flat tone or gradient as vectors of artistic expression. It examines how these techniques influence the perception of the work, playing with texture, light and depth, thus revealing the artist’s intentions. Duration: 1h15
