Summary :
“ Always remember that a painting is, before being a hobbyhorse, a naked or ordinary woman with a dowry, a flat surface covered with colours assembled in a certain order.” Maurice Denis published “The Definition of Neo-Traditionalism” at the age of twenty. This text is a real manifesto that sets the principles of Nabie painting, such as:
“for simplification; against the trompe-l’oeil”
“for distortion; against the modelled”
“for the exaltation of colours; against greyness”
This film is built upon the relations between text and image, deciphering Denis’ founding text and its implication in the works by the painter himself, and its influence on Vuillard, or Valloton.
