The version « E’ye I » concerns only the universe of the painting

We remind that each version is a multiple of eight (or four) canvas and adapts spaces. It may therefore be either 2 x 8 = 16 (the example shown), or 4 x 8 = 32, or 64 = 8 x 8 or 4 x 32 = 128. (See: The schematic representation of versions II, III & IV)

The first version of “E’ye: What is Art? “(2 x 8 canvas) concerns exclusively the universe of painting, because it was impossible to provide a comprehensive overview of art with only 16 pieces. However there are some exceptions, such as the piece 10 which corresponds to the photography, with the first picture in the history of photography of Nicephore Niepce or the piece 15 a “ready-made” of Marcel Duchamp.
