Derain, Balthus, Giacometti: A friendship in art

The Musée d’art moderne de la ville de Paris brings together the works of three major artists of the 20th century – André Derain, Balthus and Alberto Giacometti – for an excellent exhibition, ‘Derain, Balthus, Giacometti: A friendship in art‘. The show features more than 200 works by the three artists, connected to each other by a solid friendship that was born in 1933 in Paris. The exhibition presents an original way of looking at the works of these three men, whose paintings, sculptures, maquettes and drawings seem to bear witness to a long-standing mutual admiration.
