Les chants croisés de l'ordre et du chaos (The Intertwined Songs of Order and Chaos) is a diptych of catalogs published in 2003. These works offer an in-depth exploration of the rigorous world of geometric abstraction explored by Ode Bertrand through the motifs of line, rhythm, and meander. It features an emblematic selection of her works, demonstrating her commitment to an artistic practice that is both conceptual and formal.
A critical text by Fernand Fournier, art historian and specialist in abstraction, accompanies this publication. He highlights the radical nature of Bertrand's work, marked by the tension of chromatic and formal antagonisms, whose internalized violence, in his view, deserves to be questioned. Fournier places her work in the most demanding tradition of abstraction, highlighting the power of its graphic rigor.
