Exhibition : Marguerite Vallet - Gilliard

"Le fil de la mémoire" presents the work of the artist Marguerite Vallet, née Gilliard (1888-1918), first wife of the painter Edouard Vallet. The exhibition reveals a selection of paintings - genre scenes, landscapes and portraits - from private and public collections.  
A few engravings and drawings punctuate the exhibition, offering an overview of the diversity of mediums practiced by Marguerite Vallet. Archival documents (notebooks, notes and photographs) also reveal the artist's personality, interests and passions. The exhibition is organised into several thematic sections: Early works; Motherhood, beyond stereotypes; The madness of colours; and, The thread of memory. The exhibition also brings together two women, two artists, born a century apart. The contemporary artist Katerina Samara (*1988) revisits the memory of her elder sister and proposes a new look at her creation.  

Opening on 9 July at 4 pm
