“He has this other brave: to follow exclusively, the eternal, the Beauty.” - Max Jacob (foreword), René Rimbert. Exhibition catalogue, Percier gallery, 1927.
The quest of ideal and Beauty will be a permanent feature on Rimbert’s oeuvre. The preferred subjects of the artist −Still Life, city landscapes and interiors scenes − will be exhibited at Artvera’s, this autumn, as poetical leitmotifs.
“So by a wonderful poet intuition, Max Jacob, 40 years ago, he had foreseen in Rimbert’s oeuvre what corresponds to his own deeper process. What if the poet wasn’t dead, there is no doubt that he will be always among the admirers of René Rimbert, admirers that I wish you to become in your turn.” - Jean Noël Priou in Arts P.T.T., n°41/1965.
