Aquarelle 1965

Jean Rene Bazaine made this little painting with watercolour and ink. I imagine Bazaine dancing with the paper, swiping and circling bright dollops of colour across the surface. It feels casual, free, like visual notes jotted down without hesitation, then underlined with looping text and little banners. The red and white triangles at the bottom feel like a celebration. I wonder if he was thinking about Miro, who also knew how to make a painting feel like a party. Look how he takes the simple shapes and colors of childhood - circles, lines, red, yellow - and arranges them in ways that feel both playful and profound. The ink is a little frantic and seems to tie it all together. It's a conversation between the hand, the eye, and the heart, passed down through generations of painters.
