DIGRESSIONS AND DETOURS
6 paintings by Pascal: CALLIGRAMME DE GRENOUILLE / Calligram of Frog
10×10 oil on canvas gallery wrap signed on the lower right edge
Part of a serie of 38 paintings (and counting) started in 2005 with a reference to French
Poet Guillaume Apollinaire (1880-1918), author of Calligrammes,
A calligram is a poem, phrase, or word in which the typeface , calligraphy or handwriting is
arranged in a way that creates a visual image. The image created by the words expresses
visually what the word, or words, say. In a poem, it manifests visually the theme presented
by the text of the poem. Guillaume Apollinaire was a famous calligram writer and author of
a book of poems called Calligrammes His poem written in the form of the Eiffel Tower is an
example of a calligram.
To the very meaning of “play on words” defining the Calligram, as a Digression, I wanted
to “play on pics” to write an unreadable poem, playing with the shape (of the body) of my
signature character – a little diver-, an Exercises in Style, close to Raymond Queneau ‘s
writtings, closing the Detour from Literature to Painting and Painting to Literature.
An interactive picture, combining several canvasses, let the collector to create his own
artwork where he can dive in.
