Claire Chesnier, the beautiful, hypersensitive...

Without knowing her yet, I was on the jury of friends of the Beaux-Arts. Having been somewhat “raised” by my dear Jean Fournier, with whom I had interned for eighteen months, I immediately thought of him and how much he would have enjoyed Claire's work. He, who made me love and understand contemporary abstract art, would have been, I think, very sensitive to her work.

It seems to me that Claire has opened a new door in the corridor of abstract art (a cinematic image). The delicacy of the ink that saturates the paper, starting from straight lines, moves me deeply.
