Gribouillage

Bringing together more than one hundred and fifty original works from the Renaissance to the contemporary period, the exhibition Gribouillage / Scarabocchio highlights one of the most repressed and least controlled aspects of drawing practice. By examining the many facets of "doodling", from the daubed sketch on the back of a painting to the scribbled work, the exhibition reveals how these experimental, transgressive, regressive or liberating graphic gestures, which seem to obey no law, have always punctuated the history of artistic creation.
