(Q - ??: Michel a question on the 650, ""when everything is revealed"" this table confuses me because in fact in the 650 we have the impression that the chase
is finished since we have a character with a shovel and 3 three silhouettes...)
MB: yeah, I mean that when we're there with the shovel, we're not finished yet...
(Q - ??: that's what I wanted to say, it's that the enigma is in fact we haven't finished the treasure hunt at all. and it's intriguing to see, this character there in 650 and these 3 sentinels which are drawn so I don't have the specifications in front of me but... it's difficult to ask the question without extracting something from you so, but why three people in the shadows and this character at that moment and why not later, I talk about the character with the shovel?)
MB: yeah, yeah, so I try to be really, I promise you that I try to be honest in my answers, so I really make an effort to remember what I had in mind when I painted that and the title itself was already quite striking, the title of the riddle and I think I have in my head scripted a little "when everything is revealed", so the moment of the revelation, the moment when we are at the last stage, we are confronted with the final moment where everything will be revealed, everything will become clear, I think I scripted it, more or less consciously and translated it in this way- there.
But it is probable, I really think so, it is probable that it is one of the things which disturbed Max Valentin a little...
(Q - ??: and Michel years ago when I had read the title, like you I would have done like you, I would have painted the same thing...)
MB: ah well that reassures me!
(Q - Niorflan: Michel the fact that you put three characters certainly comes from the first version of the puzzles, in the text we spoke of three guardians...)
MB: honestly I don't remember it anymore, it's possible, however these three characters, we find them in many of my paintings, this trilogy I don't know what it corresponds to, surely to something in my unconscious , but I have painted other paintings where there are three characters, who are actually quite...silhouettes which are from the same, from the same family, which are practically recognizable I would say. Like the herbs that I paint, that's a...the principle how...I don't know how to explain, damn it's difficult...
These elements for example, when we talk about herbs, some tell me that they are a little stiff, others tell me they are really very particular, etc., in my opinion they are not herbs, they are herbs in a certain way but it is a plane, an intermediate plane which catches certain lights, which creates an effect of depth etc, I do not have the perception when I create a painting, I do not have the same perception at all that the person who will look at it, for me the elements of the painting are not all, even if they have a figurative side, they are not all strictly figurative, they are at the same time, how am I going to say that, technical in a certain way, it is an element that I need to create an intermediate plan, for reasons which are mine, for the needs of light, for the needs of whatever we want, I I need to create an intermediate plan and that's how I created the 650, there are elements that were asked of me, then there are my designer reflexes, my painter's habits, my touch or not my
Besides, what we want but it's Becker, there are the Becker elements which have been grafted onto the Valentin elements, that's really it.
(Q - apollo: but in 650 we are not yet at the end...)
MB: that's when everything is revealed, the 650 is that, I'm not mistaken?
(Q - ??: apollo we never said it was the end)
(Q - ??: this is the beginning...)
(Q - azfo: it's when you put the shovel in the trunk of the car.)
MB: What is it? when do we put?
(Q - azfo: when you put the shovel in the trunk of the car, that is to say there are still things...)
MB: yes, yes, correct, I don't know if it's in the trunk of the car or if it's when we open the trunk to get out
the shovel will know...
