Summary :
This portrait of the painter Bernard Piffaretti was filmed during the hanging of an exhibition at the Jean Fournier Gallery in Paris. One one of the two halves of the canvas, marked down the middle by a symbolic vertical stripe, he arranges forms and motifs, in an original model, and makes a more or less faithful replica of it on the other half. This filmic device recreates the composition that has typified Bernard Piffaretti's pictures for more than 15 years. THIS VIDEO IS PART OF THE "CNAP/DAP" COLLECTION ONLY AVAILABLE IN FRENCH TERRITORY.
