« Un pont admirable entre visible et invisible » : approches picturales de la mort et de la vie chez Lorette Nobécourt

Abstract

Lorette Nobécourt is a living French writer (she was born in 1968). In her work takes place a quest of the "Word", the holy name she gives to literature. A great feeling of spirituality comes out from her texts. From 1999 to 2012 she wrote three texts about three different pictural works : La Raie by Chardin (french painter), L’Ordre du monde by Sujata Bajaj (indian artist) and L’Usage des jours by Guillaume Bardet (french designer). Trough her texts appears her literary and spiritual evolution. Literature proved to be a spiritual ritual, like a memento mori, but also an real prayer, an hymn in praise of the « living life ».
