For the perfect flâneur, for the passionate spectator, it is an immense joy to set up house in the heart of the multitude, amid the ebb and flow of movement, in the midst of the fugitive and the infinite.  (Charles Baudelaire, “The Painter of Modern Life”, published in Le Figaro, 1863)

In the space of the gallery the public can discover an unstable scenery assembled by the two artists united in their work by the attention they pay to landscape and to the texture produced by the signs of a territory.
