* Quèsaco, the web series that has the answer to everything!
But what is it? For what ? How did he do it? So many questions that we ask ourselves when faced with a resolutely modern work. By exploring the history of the paintings at the Center Pompidou, the Quèsaco web series attempts to respond in a funny and offbeat tone to the many mysteries of art. With two-minute episodes for young and old, these videos immerse us in silent paintings with multiple symbols.
We have selected our three favorites from the series for you:
Robert Delaunay, Pig Roundabout
This painting celebrates Paris - city of lights - effervescent and swirling that never sleeps. It is this modern light that fascinates Delaunay and pushes him to invent with his wife Sonia a new way of painting the world by making colors sing.
Marc Chagall, The Bride and Groom of the Eiffel Tower
But why was a huge rooster invited to the wedding? In 1939, Marc Chagall created this surrealist canvas on which he summarized his entire life: his Jewish roots, his exile, France as a welcome, the war that was raging but also and above all, his eternal love for Bella, his wife, his muse.
Auguste Renoir, The Swing
But what is this man in a blue suit saying to this woman on a swing? And why do we have the impression of being with them, under the sun of Montmartre, while Auguste Renoir plays with drops of light? In 1876, painting outdoors would revolutionize painting.
