Children of all generations have learned and recited his poems: Jacques Prévert is one of the great French artists of the 20th century. But did you know that the poet was also a painter, draughtsman, playwright and film-maker? The Musée de Montmartre invites us to (re)discover the lesser-known facets of the artist, thanks to the exhibition Jacques Prévert, rêveur d'images, on view from October 18, 2024 to February 16, 2025.
Acclaimed for his humor and whimsy, Jacques Prévert also put his imagination to work in the visual arts. Over 150 paintings, drawings, photographs, lithographs, manuscripts, film extracts, objects and archives plunge us into the artist's astonishing, surreal world.
Textures, collages, colors, zany characters in real places: Jacques Prévert plays with contrasts to create new, original realities. Poetic and dreamlike, these works reflect a vision of the world imbued with magic and wonder, almost childlike.
The exhibition at the Musée de Montmartre is divided into four chapters, tracing the artist's life, the great diversity of his works, his intimacy and creative space, and the way he transformed everyday life into art.
Don't miss this lovely, poetic exhibition at the Musée de Montmartre this autumn and winter!
