The Adventure of Colour: Masterpieces from Centre Pompidou
Centre Pompidou-Metz
February 24, 2018 - July 22 2019
2018 Metz-Centre Pompidou Metz

This presentation of some 40 masterpieces from the Centre Pompidou’s collection proposes a thematic exploration of colour, sometimes perceived as a powerful vector of emotions and sensations, sometimes as a boundless support for reflections on the materiality and spirituality of painting. Punctuated by Matisse’s “Jazz” cut-outs, the journey reveals a number of physical and sensory experiences through the artistic explorations of Jean Dewasne, François Morellet, Bridget Riley or Sam Francis, the monochrome reflexions of Yves Klein or Robert Ryman, the energies of Pop Art and New Realism, and the reflexion on colour engaged by minimal and conceptual artists such as Donald Judd, Ellsworth Kelly, John Baldessari or Joseph Kosuth.
