On the occasion of the Grand Palais exhibition, it seemed interesting to show a large selection of pictures created by Lucien Clergue in the 1960s and early 1970s.
The current trend was kinetics and psychedelic art. Lucien Clergue continued to explore Provence and the Camargue but he chose more radical lighting. These graphic, abstract images with strong back-lighting, reflections, and the contrasting prints have a new energy and a powerful intensity that seem worlds away from the young melancholic Clergue. Lucien Clergue decided to make large prints for this series (most of them are 40×60 cm) and we have a large number of originals. One hundred and ninety eight of them are exhibited here. This series represents an important stage in Lucien Clergue's work and it has not been exhibited very much recently so it now deserves to be shown.

It was via the performing arts that the writer Gertrude Stein first found success, and it is in the performing arts that her influence endures. We have only to look at the creations of the dancer and choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, who developed in the 1980s a minimalist style in response to Stein’s work!
A monument of stone, glass and metal, the Grand Palais blends into the urban landscape. However, on closer inspection, it is in fact bursting with colour, and one of the challenges of the restoration work currently underway is to restore all its chromatic ranges.
