JV 505 Grande Corniche, a major collection of wallcoverings that brings with it the early industrial printing techniques of the nineteenth century and the extraordinary manufacturing innovation of the contemporary. A never-before-published drawing that recalls 18th-century European interest in Chinese art and all things exotic. What then can one imagine inside a body of water? A bloom of irises, a pair of grey herons, delicate lotus blossoms. All this becomes reality in Lac de Vénus where delicate and harmonious nature reigns supreme.
