Auguste Herbin: L’Alphabet Plastique à Visée Universelle
WHAT
The late artist (1882-1960) was a pivotal figure in modern art who participated in major 20th century movements. This exhibition showcases previously unseen works and traces the 7 creative periods of his career: Post-Impressionism, Fauvism, Cubism, Monumental Objects, New Figuration, First Abstraction, and Second Abstraction. His innovative contributions, especially his ultimate creation of a universal plastic alphabet, affirm his rightful place in art history.
WHY
The artist’s retrospective offers a unique opportunity to discover works that have significantly influenced modern art. His inventive spirit and his evolution from Fauvism and Cubism to a profound abstract language highlight his role as a trailblazer. By presenting the artist’s extensive oeuvre, the exhibition not only restores his legacy but also illuminates the depth and diversity of his contributions towards the avant-garde movements, as well as his impact on future generations of abstract artists.
