Françoise Petrovitch – Aimer, Rompre

Françoise Petrovitch – Aimer, Rompre – Continuing the dialogue between Romanticism and contemporary creation begun with the exhibition “Cœurs”, the Musée de la Vie Romantique invites artist Françoise Pétrovitch to work in resonance with the museum’s collections, with the question in the background: what remains of Romanticism in art today?

Françoise Pétrovitch uses the entire space of the museum to present works created specifically for this exhibition, exploring in particular the themes –
of nature and love. An artist of the intimate, she constructs a strange, poetic universe, populated by characters of children and adolescents, worked in wash and oil paint, sometimes in very large formats.

Enriched by a previously unpublished interview, a theoretical essay and photographs of the artist in her studio, this catalog offers a plunge into the imaginary and silent interiority of this singular work.
