RÊVES DE COLLECTION

Description

The extravagant collection of Jean Paul Barbier-Mueller is a cold orgy where the pendants will embrace, chains, gourds, fibulae, armlets, the situlae, lace and sawtooth, where the clay phallus fertilize amber beads, where the spouses of the other world to embrace masks without head, eyes without pupils, heads without bodies and men without arms, where the horse climbs on the bird, which ichthyosaur dancing with the policeman, and where finally the peacock, back turned triumph of deer under the indifferent eye of a fish … from Guinea vertical shield the hoops lamps, giant flanges to Minoan bullfighters, flared bowls asymmetric jars, statuettes made of three stones péridôngsoniennes bells, warthog snake, the flapper to the parade shield, the whistle spider mask, the seat totem, all conspire to celebrate the wedding of erratic bizarre and the beautiful. In this world that is ahead and precedes ours, it lacks rudimentary genius, as his sycophant, a trickle.
