3)Apparently the international Romanesque sculptor
inherited a vast vocabulary of shapes and images
going back to the beginnings of civilisation. He
invented within a tradition, using his stock to
the full, finding in new associations of ancient
elements the forgotten meaning of these rhythms
and forms. The Romanesque imagist thus rediscovered
sculpture just as Manet rediscovered painting.
The Gothic artist escapes from all this world which
haunts the imagination of the Romanesque?artists,
and with joyful vigour, reminding one of Impressionism,
he invents a style originating in nature itself. The
gesture which Descartes later called 'the clean sweep'
is an essential factor in the French make-up,
which always has to return, after many detours,
to the basic principle of observed facts. Thus,
Impressionism and Gothic art are the most precarious
contributions of France to Western art. It is surely not
mere chance which caused Impressionism and the Gothic to
meet with Monet at Rouen, Sisley at Moret, and Pissarro
at Dieppe. [Mark Stringer]
