The artist has often depicted animals in his work, unveiling an improbable bestiary! Cats, geese and goats populate her canvases. His travels enrich this bestiary with zebus from the Ivory Coast, horses from Central Park and seagulls from the Honfleur basin. While some animals form the main subject of the work, for others, the painter plays at hiding them. Here, a hen lies in the shade of a leaf, while there, a small dog hides behind its master's legs. The artist's works are displayed alongside those of other painters and draughtsmen, from the Franciscaines' collections and from external loans.
Curated by Annie Madet-Vache, director of the Musée des Franciscaines, André Hambourg specialist and art historian.
Open Tuesday to Sunday, 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
