La maison nue #[nn]

Marion Fayolle's La maison nue arrives from Magnani with a cover that is quietly arresting — four nude figures, rendered in soft, warm tones, drift amid scattered fragments of red-brick wall as if suspended in a moment of dissolution or release. There's an almost dreamlike tenderness to the composition: a dark-haired woman, a silver-haired man, a reclining young figure, and two women curled together, all adrift among the tumbling brickwork against a pale ground. Fayolle's delicate line work gives the whole image a sense of intimacy and vulnerability that makes this 2022 release genuinely compelling.
