Gold occupies a singular place in the work of Daniel Schlier, a painter based in Strasbourg and professor at ENSBA in Paris. This “masterclass” gives him the opportunity to look back at certain uses of this metal in his creations and in contemporary practices. In dialogue with the room, it will also consider how the discovery of gold, its use on a variety of supports (wood, dibond, labradorite, marble, parchment) and its reception can be part of a long-term history of art, echoing the works of 16th-century German painters as well as those of Jacques Stella.

Speaker
