Jean-Baptiste Sécheret : Peintures Et Dessins À L'heure Exacte

Jean-Baptiste Sécheret (1957-) is one of those contemporary artists who is intensely inspired by landscape. Without denying his affiliation with the landscape painters of the 19th century, he takes a closer look at nature and the "things seen" - monuments, buildings, factories, village houses - by varying the viewpoints and inventing unsuspected chiaroscuro. The artist worked tirelessly on the motif, experimenting with all kinds of media (oil painting, watercolour, charcoal, etching, etc.), before continuing his work in the studio, or even reworking it by changing the scale.

This book presents a collection of Sécheret's paintings and drawings. Two texts written by art historians highlight the power and mystery of the artist's work.
