THE ESSENTIAL to FRANÇOISE CAUVIN-MONET

« "Who sees the human figure correctly ?
The photographer, the mirror, or the painter ? »
Pablo Picasso

The ability to capture the essential in a single pencil stroke, to know where to look at and to find the detail that suggests the subject are qualities of caricaturists. Like Claude Monet in his youth, Françoise Cauvin has this talent. Her work is filled with a wide range of contradictory emotions. They make us smile or simply admit the sheer accuracy of the stroke.

« We want to sculpt a living person,
but what makes them alive is actually their gaze...
Everything else is just the frame of the gaze. »
Alberto Giacometti
