Round table discussion on the Le torrent du monde exhibition

With the artist Quentin Guichard, Pascal Reilé, hydrogeologist, and Benjamin Foudral, director-curator of the Courbet Centre and Museum.

Courbet's] paintings are built up in layers, as if his intimate knowledge of the Jurassic soils was reflected in his technique. As for the execution, it is often done with a knife, allowing him to work quickly by spreading out the colours and smoothing out the impasto.
Benjamin Foudral

Gustave Courbet teaches me the weight of the shadow. He slipped into the sinkholes and resurgences of the Loue and the Lison, I plunged into the Hellnar faults and the Hljodhaklettar rifts - to experience the obscure.
Quentin Guichard

"The stream becomes a gorge, the gorge is covered by a blanket of vegetation - which both encloses and reassures - and the stream sometimes ends in a cave, a resurgence or a spring with hidden galleries. The cave replaces the waterfall, opening up its rocky faces to pour out a stream of cold, frothy water - a world dear to Elisée Reclus: "A few steps are enough, and you are already transported to another world.
Pascal Reilé in Transferts de Courbet, edited by Yves Sarfati.
