Sam Szafran (1934-2019) has a very singular place in the history of art of the second half of the 20th century. He dedicated his work to a figurative and poetic/icconic approach to reality that he developed far from the art world and its trends, in the seclusion of the studio. Three years after the artist's death, the Musée de l'Orangerie highlights, in the first exhibition dedicated to the artist by a French museum in two decades, the few existential subjects that exist according to the artist – namely workshops, staircases and foliage - which all have his immediate environment.
