François Bergot, Chief curator of Museum of France
I shan’t keep myself (would i desire it I could not) the pleasure Baron Renouard ‘s painting brings me ; it is literally dlightful.
Since I have been knowing it (may be thirty years) I may observe a work going towards liberty like a river rolling down the ocean ant the river keeps going wider and wider. So sayinyg it seems to me I start drowing the geogrphy and cosmography of his work.
Sceneries from the sky or interior visions, labyrinths and soarings, lakes and snows, very precious iirigations on the surface of the painting, echoes of the large and shiny patches (like the gongs of an exotic band) the poetic spirit forming the core of this painting reaches us through one of the round waves it develops and leads us to belong to the “planet baron Renouard”. For sure, the coyage will be marvellous.
