That's what Romane Petroff, a specialist in 19th-century painting, has to say, and that's what makes this artist so close to us today! All aboard until autumn in Le Faouët, for a journey into mysterious Brittany, with its immense horizons. With miniaturised characters. A Brittany of tales and legends, to dream about, inspired by medieval times. Guérin is mad about painting, miniatures and illumination: he plunges you into his imaginary world influenced by Asian art. 150 works, some never seen before. A whole universe. Fantastic.
