Gérard Garouste
CENTRE POMPIDOU – RETROSPECTIVE

Centre Pompidou, Paris
From September 7, 2022 to January 2nd, 2023

The National museum of modern art – Centre Pompidou opened a large-scale retrospective dedicated to Gérard Garouste, one of the most important contemporary French painters and an advocate of uncompromising figuration.   Alongside 120 major paintings, often of very large format, the exhibition provides space for the artist’s installations, sculptures and graphical works. This retrospective enables us to grasp the full richness of the unclassifiable career of artist whose life and enigmatic body of work, governed by study but also by madness, sustain each other in a gripping dialogue.
