Picasso - Endlessly Drawing – Catalogue

Hb 21x29cm 304pp col ills £49
Text in French

In honour of the fiftieth anniversary of Pablo Picasso's passing, the exhibition "Picasso. Dessiner
a l'infini" (Picasso. Drawing to Infinity), organised by the Centre Pompidou in collaboration with
the Musee National Picasso-Paris, will shine a spotlight on the most prolific part of his creation,
presenting nearly a thousand works (notebooks, drawings and engravings).

From his youthful studies to his final works, for Picasso, drawing was a place of constantly
renewed invention. This journey through the graphic work, a sort of compulsively kept private
diary, the notebooks being the most precious examples, immerses us in the heart of the artist's
work. The non-linear visit overturns the strict chronological order, enabling resonances to be
established between different periods and contrasting well-known masterpieces with drawings
presented for the first time. Plunging visitors into the maelstrom of Picasso's creative processes,
"Picasso. Dessiner a l'infini" (Picasso. Drawing to Infinity) is the greatest retrospective ever
organised of the artist's drawings and engravings.

Corps a corps – Catalogue
Centre Georges Pompidou 2023 ISBN 9782844269577 Acqn 33911
Hb 24x30cm 312pp col ills £49
Text in French

Bringing together more than 500 photographs and documents by some 120 historical and
contemporary photographers, "Corps a corps" (Body to body) offers a unique insight into
photographic representations of the human race in the 20th and 21st centuries.

The exhibition goes beyond the traditional categories of study such as "portrait", "self-portrait",
"nudes" and so-called "humanist" photography. It reveals the particularities and "photographic"
ways of seeing, showing the connections between artists.

It brings to light common obsessions in ways of addressing the subject and stylistic approaches.
The images on display also question the photographer's responsibility: how does photography
contribute to the birth of identities and their visibility? How does it recount individualities, the
relationship with the Other? The exhibition is an encounter between two exceptional collections:
the public collection of the Musee National d'Art Moderne, Centre Pompidou, and the private one
of collector and filmmaker Marin Karmitz.

Gilles Aillaud - Political Animal
Centre Georges Pompidou 2023 ISBN 9782844269614 Acqn 33913
Pb 25x29cm 192pp col ills £35
Text in French

When asked about his decision to paint almost nothing but animals, Gilles Aillaud replied
"because I like them". Contemporaneous with early Pop Art works, with their varying degrees of
fascination with consumer products and mass communication, the paintings of Gilles Aillaud (who
died in 2005) have nothing exotic about them.

Unable to become a philosopher, Gilles Aillaud became a painter instead. However, instead of
painting a philosophy, he sought to "paint philosophically". Although his paintings may seem to
depict animals, the artist's sole and true subject was our relationship with nature. His technical
"humility" gave form to a dream of reconciliation, far from any attempt to "master" or "possess"
the world. Today, current questions about our relationship with living beings highlight the
importance of this keenly awaited retrospective.
