JEAN MIOTTE - Un Geste qu’on porte en soi

In the summer of 2004, Jean Miotte welcomed me to his estate in Pignans, in the Var region of France. A major artist and icon of French painting in the second half of the 20th century, this exceptional figure of the lyrical abstraction movement – with its endless variations – captured movement as the very essence of life. After crossing a pine forest with its intoxicating fragrances, the studio appeared in a rare display of dynamic, sonorous and colourful flamboyance.
