Foujita

Yesterday, Muriel and I visited the Foujita exhibition in our Musée des Beaux Arts in Rheims. This strange artist in whom you may recognize various infuences such as Botticelli, Bosh or even Dali, remained all his life ambivalent to the notion of religion in his paintings. He had the idea of builing a chapel in Rheims, which bears his name.

Have a look at these videos to get acquainted with his work and life.













This is a radio programme in French dedicated to Foujita :
