| Pierre Girieud who could seem disordered because he was getting rid of the links paralyzing his will, today reaches a kind of magical candor. He is already great, because, free, he creates beautifully with love and simplicity,
The bathers, from Girieud, will justify our saying. Each gesture of the two women lying in the foreground balances the gesture of the other, the nude four bathers of the second plan seem to be born from the gesture of the first and all the feeling of this painting is confused in the attitude of a woman crossing her arms on her breasts.
The gift of color is evident in Pierre Girieud, proceeding in such a way that he reduces to two or three essential tones, imposing them, the most nourished range. He is an alchemist of color as Rimbaud was of the verb. His art is very close to that of the poet of the Illuminations. |
