The new “Bourbonnais” Collection

A large part of Guy Renne's works were in his former workshop in Les Bois located in Bourbonnais where he spent his last hours. The Guy Renne Foundation has undertaken a vast project of renovation and digitization of these works.

For the most part, these works were made in the 70s and 80s, some of them, unfinished, testify to the intense activity of the painter until the last hours of his life. We present them to you here in preview.

BATHERS

The Bathers are perhaps the best known and most emblematic works of the painter, those that we present here, are among the most beautiful ever shown.

VENUS

In 1957, a first series of canvases is intended, by a continuous drawing, without flaw or repentance, a reading of Bernard Buffet. These large compositions of female characters develop a tangle of dry straight lines, forming acute angles, triangles, rectangles, squares, circles. These strange creatures, Guy Renne will baptize them Trigonometric Venus. Subsequently, he will apply this conception to still lifes.
