COLLECTIONS
The new presentation of the contemporary art collections, at a time when the programme is reviewing sixty years of the museum's history, looks resolutely to the future and questions new horizons. It is an invitation to travel. It's a journey to familiar places, to the sea here and elsewhere, or to more distant lands, to discover America or Texas. It is also a return to ancient, even immemorial times, or, on the contrary, an immersion in our most immediate present, probing the lines of our destiny.
Humanity goes in search of its roots, battles, vacillates, rebels or rests, in works that take the pulse of the world. From the return to the resistant figure and the clear lines of the nouvelle figuration of the 1960s to the exacerbated expressivity of figuration libre and the neo-fauves, from the poetic writings of the 1980s to the eclectic experiments of the new millennium, there are many avenues to explore, encouraging us to take side roads in search of new itineraries and new encounters.
