In Frankfurt again. No luck finding the Städel's Chardin, but here's another, on loan from the Louvre.

Strip (2011)
The painting, though, is impossible to see. Dazzled eyes dance, and there's perpetual rain. (This, again, is a detail.)

Over-reproduced, these candles paintings (hence the choice of a detail, with the photographer dimly reflected in the glass), but so beautiful

Strich (auf Rot) (1980)
Hard to photograph.
Hard to make, since the impression of a single huge brushstroke is meticulously constructed.

Grau (1972)
These two pictures are very similar in colour, but not in surface.
Grey "has the capacity that no other colour has, to make 'nothing' visible" (the artist)

No, Philippe Auguste wasn't pregnant; "enceinte" can also mean "enclosure". And you can have an "enceinte bluetooth", though that wasn't available around the year 1200.
