L’eau, le temps qu’il fait, et le chemin du retour

La mer

Des bateaux à l’ancre, un port qui s’apaise au clair de lune, les plages de Boudin sous un grand ciel d’été, le Gulf Stream de Homer, une tempête au large de la Normandie, et la grande vague de Hokusai sur le point de retomber sur trois barques. Les peintres ont suivi la mer de la Hollande au Japon, et elle n’a jamais accepté de poser pour eux.
