This spring Interart's exhibition pays tribute to some of the major figures and movements in post-war art.

Fifteen figurative and abstract works, mainly from private collections, will recall a number of aspects of these movements which flourished between the 1950s and 1970s.

The exhibition includes three major artists from the post-war School of Paris: Vieira da Silva, de Staël and Poliakoff, illustrating their preoccupation with the harmony of shapes and colours, the balance of their constructions and their investigation of the limits of abstraction.

With Picasso who continues his career of unrivalled genius, tirelessly drawing the people who inhabit his world, Matta, still rooted in Surrealism and Fautrier with his informal research into matter, we are reminded of the continuity with earlier 20th century art.

A major work by Dubuffet illustrates the rupture of certain artists with academicism, while a work by Sam Francis represents the new paths explored around abstract expressionism.
