Guided tour of the exhibition "Vibrer pour vivre - Michel Carrade"

Discover the works of Michel Carrade: colors and rhythms, light and variations
17 and 18 September 2022Passed
Musées de Cholet

For three months, the museum hosts 43 works by artist Michel Carrade (1923-2021).
Vertical bands, rhythm, color and light are the elements of Michel Carrade’s universe. Used together or separately, they are the common thread of his research.
A member of the Paris School group, he first joined the movement of lyrical Abstraction. In 1969, a trip to New York upset his way of painting. He discovers Marc Rothko and Jackson Pollock, whose work, stripped of all sentimentality, uses color and gesture for themselves.
He then frees his painting of any drawn element and focuses on color, its energy and its vibrations. And goes in search of light. How to grasp it? The colored vertical bands, joined edges to edges or slightly spaced, attract or oppose, merge or confront each other with a single purpose: to radiate the canvas in order to intensify the living.
Colors and rhythms, light and variations are the building blocks of an exhibition to make present a relationship to vitality.
