19 March -19 June 2022 (PROLONGATION): EXHIBITION BORIS TASLITZKY AT MUSÉE LA PISCINE DE ROUBAIX
After the retrospective devoted to André Fougeron in 2014, La Piscine is paying homage to Boris Taslitzky (1911-2005), showcasing his exemplary contribution to the narrative of the 20th century. Both witness and protagonist in the greatest upheavals of his time, Taslitzky would say that his whole life had been marked by war. Aware of his responsibilities as both a man and an artist, Taslitzky aligned himself with the great tradition of historic painters and espoused a ‘realism with a social content’ which he was duty-bound to narrate.

« The exhibition, at the Scuderie del Quirinale in Rome, marks the 700th anniversary of Dante's death. It features more than 200 works from the Middle Ages to now, presenting Hell in all its forms, from demonic Renaissance depictions of bodies toasting in fire and brimstone (Pieter Huys, Inferno, 1570), to experiences of Hell on Earth, such as the concentration camps of the Second World War (Boris Taslitzky, Le petit camp à Buchenwald, 1945). » (theartnewspaper.com)
