Claude Rutault — À propos — Slash Paris

The Barnes collection, a well-known impressionist art collection, had a principle of demanding rigorous and symmetrical picture hanging. The paintings were also interspersed with various objects, with a didactic goal for openness and confrontation. Here, the installation of the canvases painted the same colour as the wall- yellow like at the Barnes collection- takes up these 2 characteristics: symmetry and density on the one hand and the mix of small and large elements on the other.
