Like Pierre (1955, Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, Düsseldorf), but in a larger format, Ruissellement crystallizes the contrarieties of fossilized water (Le Torrent, 1956, Fondation Gandur pour l'art, Geneva), or of frozen rock, symmetrical figures of an ambivalence constitutive of an imagination of matter, mineral and fluid, that will never cease to work on Baudelaire's work. Bazaine's work. Bazaine notes that stones and rocks are immersed in "water that surged from all sides". Ruissellement is a major work in Bazaine's output, emblematic of the 1955-1957 period. Jean-Pierre Greff, art historian, President of the Plaza Foundation. We would like to thank Jean-Pierre Greff for authenticating this work. An 'Ruissellement' oil on canvas by Jean Bazaine
