Note du spécialiste

"We are left with a vague sense of what it felt like to behold [the Fugue paintings]—perhaps the sensation of their optical shimmer—our brain unable to retain more than incremental coloristic and compositional data. This is due to the nature of how fugitive the function of color and composition is in these works, which, we discover, adeptly play with our unconscious expectations of the agency of our vision as it acts, not only on a painting, but on space more broadly."
—A. Bacon, "Jean-Baptiste Bernadet Fugue," The Brooklyn Rail, July-August 2014.
