- He's an amateur.
- Sorry?
:39:02
He's an amateur.
:39:04
We can't stop him, we let him.
:39:06
But your husband is an artist.
:39:08
An artist, well, maybe...
:39:11
Why not?
:39:13
There's better than that.
:39:15
- What?
- Better, much better than that.
:39:21
Like Louis Pons, for instance,
:39:23
who uses junk as an inspiration.
:39:26
He draws through objects,
:39:28
he accommodates chance.
:39:32
All these objects around here
:39:37
are my dictionary,
:39:39
useless things.
:39:42
People think it's a cluster of junk.
:39:45
I see it as a cluster
of possibilities.
:39:51
Each object gives
a direction, each is a line,
:39:54
picked up here and there,
:39:57
indeed gleaned,
:39:59
and which become
:40:02
my paintings.
:40:04
The aim of art is to tidy up
:40:06
one's inner and exterior worlds.
:40:08
These are just crayons,
children's crayons.
:40:13
Here we have tins and spools...
:40:17
This is the tongue of a small bell.
:40:21
I make sentences from things.
:40:24
A cricket on a heap of trash.
:40:28
Cages are interesting too,
a bit like boats, like violins
:40:32
and things whose...
:40:36
shapes at first are very simple
and the same,
:40:39
but the possible variations
are infinite.
:40:43
These are skirting boards
and frames.
:40:46
There is a... from cars...
:40:50
a windshield wiper.
:40:51
But for me they are streaks.
:40:54
I have to balance the streaks.
:40:56
That's a statement.
Horizontal statements, nothing else.
