"Cézanne's solitude, we probably haven't measured yet its ardour nor itsdepth."- Philippe Sollers in Le Paradis de Cézanne, Paris, Gallimard, 1995.
"That Thursday in early April my learned friend Martial Canterel hadinvited me, along with several other close friends of his, to visit the hugepark surrounding his beautiful villa at Montmorency."- Raymond Roussel, Locus Solus, translated from French by Rupert Copeland Cuningham Berkeley, University of California Press, 1970. Locus Solus (the solitary place) is, in the eponymous novel written byRaymond Roussel in 1914, the name of the property surrounding the villade Montmorency, which belonged to the inventor and man of science,Martial Canterel. Locus Solus is the story of a long walk, in which Canterel presents to hisguests a series of inventions, these inventions, marking this surreal Désert de Retz. All compete in complexity and peculiarity, and illustrate - beyond theimage of the accomplished scientist - artistic genius. The exhibition Locus Solus is, in homage to Roussel's essay, an invitationto a leisurely and reflexive promenade. |
