Claude Viallat, Maison Triolet Aragon

Saint Arnoult en Yvelines (78)

FROM SEPTEMBER 03 TO NOVEMBER 30, 2022

In accordance with Aragon's wishes, the Maison Elsa Triolet - Aragon is a living place, open to contemporary creation. Exhibitions (painting, sculpture, photography) as well as meetings and musical performances take place there all year round. Since the opening to the public in 1994, many artists have passed through the House, and have left works in the permanent collection.

In 1982, Aragon punched on the walls of his Parisian apartment the invitation card of Claude Viallat's exhibition at the Pompidou Center. Forty years later, Viallat returns to the walls of Aragon. He declines, in his recent creations, the characteristic motive of his work since 1966 on free canvases (sheets, parasols, polychrome tarpaulins or canvas tents). In this way, he disrupts the traditional system of presentation of the painting.
