Art and water
Two elements reveal themselves as Summer lifelines: water and art.
Both flow, refresh, purify… connecting with the deepest part of human being, offering respite from physical heat and from emotional strain.
Sea, river, fountain, rain… all forms of water, have always been a symbol of renewal and calm.
Water has been a muse for artists since prehistory. Ancient civilisations understood, art not only imitates nature, but reinterprets it as medicine, as ritual acts of collective solace.
The dance of water inspires painters, poets, musicians and writers. Faced with the dryness of air and earth, water offers not only literal coolness, but also a symbolic language that speaks of fluidity, transformation and resilience.
Likewise, art becomes an oasis, in all its expressions: visual, performing, musical, literary, theatrical…
On days of relentless sun, artistic creations offer shade and meaning.
When Summer reaches its peak and its heat wave reigns supreme, body and spirit seek relief in Art.
Attending an exhibition, fashion red carpet, concert, play, enjoying street art performance, new musics, beach reading… become acts of poetic resistance against the burning weather.
Let yourself relax with our exclusive research “Empire of sleep”, indulge yourself in the superb Matisse exhibition at Paris Grand Palais and explore the extraordinary odyssey of the Benin Bronzes, scattered across museums and galleries around the world.
On the fashion sphere, we fly over top fashion catwalks: iconic Pierre Cardin, avant-garde Viktor & Rolf, celebritie’s Zuhair Murad, ultra-exclusive architectural Stephane Rolland and South Korean minimalist Time 1993.
In the heat of Summer, it’s not just about hydrating ourselves physically but also emotionally. Let’s drink and dive into water but let’s also drink ART.
Have an arty and cool Summer!
