Propos d’Europe I

“If we could find a guiding theme for this first edition, which focuses on Germany, England, Spain, France, Greece and Italy, it might be that of symbol-meaning, of the search for a language (the water of the Hippocrene fountain, which burst forth when the ground was struck by the hoof of Pegasus, was regarded as a source of poetic inspiration), whether symbolic (Venieri), between figure and abstraction (Broto), more conceptual (Freestone) or narrative (Favre), or else closer to traces (Penone, Daviot)”.
