The green Christ, 1890, Maurice Denis

Summary[edit]

Description
Français : Le Christ vert, 1890, Maurice Denis, huile sur carton. Acquis par la musée d'Orsay en 2020. Texte associé au tableau :" Ce petit tableau est à la fois une scène religieuse et une expérience picturale radicale. Un Christ vert se détache sur une croix jaune sur fond de ciel rouge vif. Sur le reste de la surface, les nuances de jaune laissent deviner des anges recueillant le sang du Christ de part et d'autre de la croix, et une foule à ses pieds. Pour Denis, "le visible est la manifestation de l'invisible" ; la peinture ne doit pas imiter le réel, mais le transposer avec ses propres moyens. Il accentue ici les contrastes de couleur et simplifie les formes aux limites de l'abstraction.
English: The Green Christ, 1890, Maurice Denis, oil on cardboard. Acquired by the Musée d'Orsay in 2020. Text associated with the painting: "This small painting is both a religious scene and a radical pictorial experience. A green Christ stands out against a yellow cross against a background of bright red sky. On the rest of the surface, the shades of yellow leave guess angels collecting the blood of Christ on either side of the cross, and a crowd at his feet. For Denis, "the visible is the manifestation of the invisible"; painting should not imitate reality, but transpose it with his own means.Here he accentuates the color contrasts and simplifies the forms to the limits of abstraction.
