Catalogue Note
Décor pour la chapelle de l'Alcazar de Tolède, Espagne. Projet non réalisé.
Les photographies de Sert sont souvent plus saisissantes que ses peintures, a fortiori si elles sont l’unique trace d’un projet non réalisé comme ici. La mise en action de ces santons est dynamisée par la prise de vue oblique de la scène, en suspension dans l’espace. Cette puissance propre à la photographie noir et blanc n’a pas son équivalent dans les esquisses à l'huile.
