"One day, we'll come to perform symphonies at the same time as we represent beautiful paintings, to increase the impression." -  Eugène Delacroix, 1856

TEDx Talk

Hearing, taste, touch... You've probably mastered it. After all, our five senses are our daily life, the basis of our interactions with the world. Nothing could be more familiar to us. But what would happen if we suddenly started to see... music? Gabrielle Thierry has appeared, and like the fairy tale, she takes you on a journey beyond the boundaries you thought were the best defined by your perception! Engineer IA of formation, Gabrielle Thierry dedicates herself today to the painting.
If she likes to paint landscapes, she seeks above all, and in a very particular way to make visible the music. She sees the sounds, the harmonies, the rhythms as colors. 
She considers herself a musicalist and a colorist.

The Water Lilies' Series

Gabrielle Thierry's series "The Musicality of Water Lilies" was inspired by her rediscovery of the Water Lilies landscapes of Claude Monet in 2010. She is the only artist to have spent 300 hours in total immersion in the oval rooms of the Musée de l'Orangerie to understand their evocation. During 18 months, and 100 sessions of work, she translated eight of Monet's landscapes into colored musical scores. Thierry's work concentrates on visual representations of music and strives to show interactions between color, form, notes and musical compositions. The first exhibition of her series has been held in at the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Art Gallery.

AI & Authentication 

Painting Authentication Expert System & Modeling Stylistic Expertise

Extracts from this study, this report is subject to copyright protection, please take note. To access the full publication, please contact the author Gabrielle Thierry.

In the process of authenticating a painting, there are two modes of expertise:

- The first takes into account all the knowledge the expert has of the artist and his painting. Friendländer's "ideal painting" is, in fact, constructed from a set of distinctive features of the artist's work. 
- The second is a comparative approach to all or part of the painting. The search for clues and works of comparison must be even more relevant. For this, access to knowledge and information on works that have already been authenticated and analyzed is essential (Morelli).

In order to respond to these two complementary methods in the expert's work, new technologies, and more specifically cognitive sciences and Artificial Intelligence applications, can help develop appropriate tools to aid attribution.

A study was written by Gabrielle Thierry, then at Christie's Education, in 2003, with the invaluable collaboration of Michel and Guy-Patrice Dauberville from the Galerie Bernheim-Jeune, François Duret-Robert, journalist and collector (Connaissance des Arts - Le Monde), Yann Le Pichon,  Le Douanier Rousseau expert, as well as the Institut Wildenstein, the Musée d'Orsay, Christie's, and many others.
