Is this religious? Auto erotic? Looks a lot more like agony to me. Death throes. This is mostly to tell you two things about Ernest Pignon-Ernest that I never would have guessed from the works in the Extases exhibit. The erotica. He plastered his now iconic drawing of Rimbaud all over Paris and beyond in watch from β OK, as not really promised, I did go to the exhibit, which was in the really, really old abbey construction started in , one of the oldest churches in France and one of the first examples of romanesque architecture.
The place is worth a stop if you can ever get inside. Afternoons are a good bet. As I suspected, the extase was of the religious variety. I think. I just skimmed the info panel in slideshow below. The presentation of the enormous drawings was decidedly awe inspiring.
Lighting rose slowly on individual drawings until all were illuminated and then all went dark. They were reflected in the shiny black plateau on which they were displayed, which, it turns out, is a pool of water. The oooh ahhhh effect was achieved. The pics: The entrance of the abbatiale ; The whole exhibit; Hildegarde de Bingenβ¦; Which women appear where and why.
