 Plastic arts  Exhibition

The Centre Pompidou is dedicating most of this end-of-Movement exhibition to the Fondation des Treilles, a long-standing partner in the Var region, an exceptional transdisciplinary venue and a "showcase for thought" designed by Anne Gruner Schlumberger.

 

Works from the museum, one in the garden and one in the woods, evoke a bucolic setting with southern accents. Among the artists most represented is Max Ernst, with several major paintings and his Capricorn, a majestic sculpted group, another example of which adorns the Domaine des Treilles. Victor Brauner and Takis also feature prominently in both collections, highlighting a shared history.
Last but not least, a retrospective of the Les Treilles "Résidence de la photographie" prize is also part of the exhibition, alongside pieces from the Museum.
