In 2014 the Musée cantonal des Beaux-Arts in Lausanne will present an exhibition devoted to three leading 20th-century sculptors: Alberto Giacometti, Marino Marini and Germaine Richier.
Confronted with the impossibility of persevering in depicting human beings in the traditional way in a context dominated by abstraction, how do Giacometti, Marini and Richier come up with new images of man, while at the same time not abandoning figurative representation?
This ground-breaking exhibition will be an opportunity to see 70 sculptures and graphic works by these three internationally renowned artists brought together in Lausanne. Drawn from prestigious public and private, Swiss and European collections, it will make it possible to apprehend the different facets of their creative output, their research into the classic forms of the head and figure, the perception of the body and movement, as well as the expression of scale and space.
