Exhibition: "The body in all its states

Today, Les Franciscaines' collections are rich in more than 6,800 works of art and are presented in its Universes on an annual rotation basis. The subject of "The Body" has been chosen to unfold in 2023 in these thematic spaces linked to the identity of Deauville, which combine original works, books and digital resources.
Bodies, naked or clothed, bodies in motion or at rest, body parts, human, horse, frozen in the moment by the photographer or painter... The choice of these varied representations of the body, born from the imagination of talented artists, was imposed thanks to the conjunction of two major events: the exceptional deposit of two works by Kees Van Dongen following the exhibition "Deauville fits me like a glove" during the summer of 2022 and the recent donation by the Association des Amis des Franciscaines of a work by Pierre et Gilles entitled "Philomène (Mica Arganaraz)".

Open Tuesday to Sunday from 10:30 am to 6:30 pm
