The work of braque is indissolubly linked to the atelier, heart of his house, a bright fragment towards which everything converse, whose metamorphic representation occupies in his work the essential place that this book evokes and deepen. When Georges Braque immersed himself in the Ateliers series in the 1940s and 1950s, he had nothing left to experiment with. Just at the moment when others give in to their deserved glory and reproduce, Braque continues to search and question: “I made a very great discovery - I don’t believe in anything anymore. Objects do not exist for me, there is only a symphonic relationship between them and between me and myself. When we come to this harmony, everything becomes possible and eternal. And this is true poetry». He goes so far as to write in his notebook: “Let’s forget things and consider only the relationships “. We are no longer in the field of metaphor, but in the one of metamorphosis. Everything is now Atelier, a visionary laboratory in which the entire universe is summarized and in endless escape. Braque, a craftsman proud of it, lived in his two laboratories, one in Paris and one in Varengeville, in Normandy. His work is inconceivable outside these walls. The author, great friend of braque and his most refined exegete, analyzes a series of canvas and paintings that will culminate in the fundamental sequence of the eight symphonic ateliers, pictorial summa and poetic figuration of his daily universe.
