Among the notions useful for art commentary, clichés and anecdotes are diametrically opposite.

A cliché is something that appertains too much to everyone and not enough to a single individual, while an anecdote is something that appertains too much to a single individual and not enough to everyone. François Boisrond’s paintings derive from these two contradictory qualities that, when considered separately, would constitute its main flaw. Subjects, objects, landscapes, houses: everything is both anecdotal and stereotypical, personal experience and televisual, mental and genuine.
