Leur alternance est déjà agencée en lignes verticales et horizontales, avec des espacements déterminés. Cette structure préexistante s’impose au peintre et impose, jusqu’à un certain point, des configurations possibles tenant compte des discontinuités, du rythme et des orientations induites par les données architecturales et architectoniques. Le deuxième workshop du projet de recherche FNS «La ville ornée»...
