"Painting in Martinique" examines artistic practices in Martinique between 1765 and 1943. More than 150 works retrace the major periods in the history of art in Martinique: from the construction of the dominant colonial imaginary to the aesthetic rebellion led by negritude and surrealism, with the creation of the School of Applied Arts. The exhibition gives an account of the fractures, silences and prejudices, but also of the resistance and struggles from Martinique and Paris, for access to artistic training in public schools and for the development, in the inter-war years, of a Martinican art depicting the people, scenes and landscapes of the peyi. This exhibition has been produced with the exceptional loan and support of the Quai Branly - Jacques Chirac Museum Guided tours: every Wednesday and Friday at 4:30 pm Free activity with no reservation More information on our website https://bit.ly/3xngpZj Photo: JF Gouait Fondation Clement, Habitation Clement, Le Francois
