Léger and the New Realism

Jun 15, 2024 — Feb 16, 2025 | Musée national Fernand Léger, Biot, France

From June 2024 to February 2025, the musée national Fernand Léger in Biot and the Musée d’Art Moderne et d’Art Contemporain (MAMAC) in Nice will join forces to celebrate artistic creativity, with an exhibition that brings together the exuberant, colourful work of the painter Fernand Léger (1881- 1955) with the key works of the MAMAC.
