At the Museum of Modern Art, an original painting, certainly by Robert Delaunay, was rediscovered on the back of a work by the master of Orphism, «Les Coureurs» (1924). This is a very accomplished portrait, representing Bella Chagall. These flash mediations of about twenty minutes, by Juliette Faivre-Préda, curator of the Museum of Modern Art, will address the many questions that this discovery raises, both from the point of view of research, restoration and museography. Then run for it!
