Wols

Text in French

Wols, whose real name was Otto Wolfgang Schulze, was born into a wealthy German family in
1913, frequented the avant-garde during his youth and evolved in the spheres of surrealism. If he
draws inspiration from the various artistic movements of the time, the originality of his drawings,
which are the subject of this exhibition, lies in the framing of his subjects, which seem to be
examined through the lens of a microscope.

Alice Neel - Un Regard Engage

Centre Georges Pompidou 2020 ISBN 9782844268778 Acqn 30828
Pb 23x28cm 160pp col ills £32
Text in French

The first monographic exhibition in France dedicated to Alice Neel (1900-1948), a major
American artist, highlights the political and social commitment of a figurative painter at odds with
the artistic styles of the avant-gardes of her time.

Structured in two thematic parts, social injustice and gender inequality, the retrospective includes
some sixty paintings and drawings as well as numerous documents, from her first works at the
end of the 1920s to her last paintings, made shortly before her death.

The act of creation being fundamentally a search for truth for Alice Neel, the artist paints those
rejected by society, the victims of social or gendered oppression: Latin American and Puerto
Rican immigrants, African-American writers excluded from the intellectual elite, single mothers
struggling to raise their children, homosexual couples - all committed portraits presented by the
artist with communist affinities.

As one of the few French-language catalogues devoted to the painter, the catalogue will also be
in two parts, around four essays and an extensive anthology accompanying some sixty works
illuminated by numerous quotations from the artist.

Global(e) Resistance
Centre Georges Pompidou 2020 ISBN 9782844268785 Acqn 30829
Pb 15x21cm 160pp col ills £24
Text in French

The exhibition "Global(e) Resistance" sets out new criteria in history of collection of the Musee
national d'art moderne, Centre Pompidou, through more than a hundred works by contemporary
artists - all acquired over the last decade - primarily from the "Global South" (Africa, the Middle
East, Asia and Latin America). The exhibition examines the aesthetic and ethical strategies of
resistance implemented by these artists. From political struggles to postcolonial issues, including
those linked to the environment or gender-related, they respond to the urgency of the present
moment while also proposing new alternatives.
