The artist in face of the future
MARSEILLE – Progress (expressed by mechanics or science-fiction) clearly fascinated artists like Fernand Léger or Max Ernst. But not only them! Even creators like Matisse or Miró, who we consider less drawn-in by the religion of the future succumbed in their own way. It is what this stimulating exhibit aims to show. It calls in the champions of the XXth century (from Kandinsky to Raysse) to demonstrate this theory in three sections (Metropolis, The War of the Worlds, Space Odyssey.)
