Exiles exhibition

Works of Picasso, Chagall and Legere will be presented in the exhibition

The three famous artists have all experienced exile at one point in their life; Picasso and Chagall both ventured to the city of love - Paris, whereas Léger reached new heights in America after the Second World war ended. 

Three different museums will this summer present the creative works of these exile inspired artists, primarily in the first half of the 20th century, exploring the ways in which migration infuenced their creations. 

The Chagall Museum in Nice will explore the nostalgic creations of Jewish artist Chagall in addition to others who have had contrasting experiences of exile such as Brancusi, Brauner, Kandinsky, Masson, Miró and Picasso.  

The Fernand Léger Museum in Biot will focus on Léger as a builder of contemporary worlds, who delved  into the future alongside various artists such as Magnelli, Mondrian and Freundlich who also express a similar view. 

The Pablo Picasso Museum in Vallauris will unveil the works of Melik Ohanien, who also adopts a contemporary view on exile.
