Musées de Troyes

Parvine Curie’s work is closely linked to Troyes and its museum of modern art. The daughter of a pharmacist on Emile Zola Street, she spent her childhood in this «city of towers, vaults, columns and arrows». She walks the streets, already sensitive to the beauty of the buildings that surround her. This link so alive to architecture that it then opens to many other influences, from Spanish Romanesque art to temples in Asia or pyramids in Egypt, remains one of the guidelines of his entire work. Discover the work of sculptor Parvine Curie by following Scarlett Reliquet, responsible for the cultural and scientific programming of the Musée d'Orsay - Valéry Giscard d'Estaing and co-curator of the exhibition.
