A tribute to two twentieth-century masters
Curated by Marie-Thérèse Pulvénis de Séligny, this unique exhibition explores the distinctive characteristics of both artists, while highlighting their similarities in approaching common themes: self-portraits, the street, the light of the Midi, the painter and his model. It’s a rare opportunity to see the works of these two geniuses side by side, offering a cross-section of their art and vision.
