The exhibition featured at the Hélène & Edouard Leclerc Culture Fund displays major pieces of Chagall's work, collected from international museums and private collections.
These pieces illustrate the theme of the Bible, the elements that marked Chagall’s life (Russian revolution, WWII, exile…) and the major texts that inspired him such as his paintings on the La Fontaine fables.
Out of the 300 pieces gathered in Landerneau, many also reflect his friendship with famous writers and poets like Blaise Cendrars, Guillaume Apollinaire, André Malraux, Louis Aragon...
“Through this exhibit, we wanted to offer a new perspective on the artwork of Marc Chagall, a new look at poetry and painting. The pieces come from Paris, Nice, Roubaix… Yet, Chagall had never been exhibited to the general public in Western France. This is the encounter that we are organizing from June 26 until November 1st in Landerneau, thanks to Jean-Louis Prat, curator of the exhibit,” declared Michel-Edouard Leclerc.
