The
magnificent calm and endless skies are exalted
by the estuary of the Gironde and resonate in the
heart
of Jean-Daniel Menanteau. This self-taught artist
became interested in the art of painting through
his love of the landscape and his sometimes nostalgic
quest to evoke its atmosphere. |
|
| As
an artist, his goal is simply to offer a sincere expression
of his sensations. His impressions are subtle yet strong,
an open door leading into an idyllic domain of calm and
beauty, peace for the body and soul. Jean-Daniel Menanteau
shows us what is behind his emotion, hiding nothing and
never resorting to conventional or contrived formulae.
His art leaves it to us to analyse the trait, to understand
and feel this lightness which brings out the peace of
nature and is the cradle of his intellectual life. |
