Pour une Histoire de la Peinture, 1972 (Theory of the Cloud: for a History of Painting, 1972), this introduction proposes a chronological exploration of the painting of clouds and its evolution, from the cloud as manifestation of the holy (up to the Renaissance) to post-Impressionism. The dialogue between science and art provides the occasion to raise certain questions: did the invention of the classification of clouds (1803) have an incidence on their pictorial representation? In what measure did the discovery of the vibratory nature of light (Augustin Fresnel beginning in 1819) influence the practice of painters like Turner, and then the Impressionists? A view of the ensemble of the set of connections of our deliberations does not lead to the conclusion of an evolution towards the “realism” in the painting of clouds, or even to a progressive equivalence between the perceptive experience and the representation of the cloud.Cairn free access
