This second edition brings together more than one hundred pieces from the same private collection. Fifteen years of passion could not be the subject of a single exhibition. Also, this collector allowed us to tell once again what guided his emotion: seeking monumentality in the miniature, grasping the grandeur of the minuscule. Bronzes have existed since forever, or almost. They are one of the first artistic manifestations to have crossed the ages and the continents. Favored by their size and their material, they are among those objects that acquire more beauty by patinating, more transcendence by supporting the marks of time. It is undeniable to note that if men have traveled, so have their objects - or at least their style and their iconography. Bringing back souvenirs from elsewhere was to show a different know-how, it was to propose new techniques, forms that one would repeat by appropriating them: art is exchange and transmission. Beyond the line and balance of their composition, which are reminiscent of the works of the greatest modern sculptors of the 20th century, these bronzes are loaded with echoes, styles and influences; they are the supports of these timeless dialogues. How can we not see a bit of Luristan, Siberia or even traces of the Etruscans? Monumentality is ultimately also what is not stated at first glance: monumentality is elsewhere, it is the past, it is perceiving all the people it took to get there.
