"Cézanne's solitude, we undoubtedly haven't measured yet its ardour nor its depth." - Philippe Sollers in Le Paradis de Cézanne, Paris, Gallimard, 1995.
"That Thursday in early April my learned friend Martial Canterel had invited me, along with several other close friends of his, to visit the huge park surrounding his beautiful villa at Montmorency." - Raymond Roussel, Locus Solus, translated from French by Rupert Copeland Cuningham Berkeley, University of California Press, 1970.
Locus Solus (the solitary place) is, in the eponymous novel written by Raymond Roussel in 1914, the name of the property surrounding the villa de Montmorency, which belonged to the inventor and man of science, Martial Canterel. Locus Solus is the story of a long walk, in which Canterel presents to his guests a series of inventions, his inventions, marking this surreal Désert de Retz. All compete in complexity and peculiarity, and illustrate - beyond the image of the accomplished scientist - artistic genius. The exhibition Locus Solus is, in homage to Roussel's essay, an invitation to a leisurely and reflexive promenade.
