Considered as one of the main founders of Moroccan and more broadly Arab artistic modernity, Farid Belkahia (1934-2014) is being honored with a retrospective at the Centre Pompidou. The exhibition retraces the great sequences of Farid Belkahia’s work, from his expressionist period in Prague to his use of highly traditional local craft materials. The retrospective brings together nearly 140 works - paintings, drawings, sculptures, skins and brass - including an important piece, Hommage à Gaston Bachelard (1984), which joined the Centre Pompidou’s collection in 2013.

Considered as one of the main founders of Moroccan and more broadly Arab artistic modernity, the artist and his evolution towards a new modernity are put into light in this immersive journey. The exhibition brings together nearly 140 works - paintings, drawings, sculptures, skins and brass - including an important piece, Hommage à Gaston Bachelard (1984), which joined the Centre Pompidou’s collection in 2013.

Mission Recherche

Graduated from the Ecole de design Nantes Atlantique in 2002, Ionna Vautrin has worked successively for Camper in Spain, for George J. Sowden in Italy and for Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec in France. She opened her own design studio in January 2011 after receiving the Grand Prize of creation of Paris. She collaborated with different brands and editors such as Foscarini, Moustache, Kvadrat, Christian Dior, Sancal, Lexon, Serralunga, SNCF, JCDecaux, Monoprix... Her work is at the crossroads of industry and poetry. She designs everyday objects whose ambition is to be both simple, obvious but yet startling. Her projects combine geometric and organic forms, a playful and colourful spirit, intuitive and functional uses, a warm and familiar presence.
