Duration
1:16
To celebrate the centenary of Simon Hantaï’s birth (1922-2008), the Fondation is organising an unprecedented retrospective exhibition. Discover the method used by the artist.

Organised in collaboration with the Hantaï family, the exhibition brought together more than 130 works by the artist, many of which have never been exhibited before, mostly large formats and centered on the years 1957-2000.

Influenced by Jackson Pollock, Simon Hantaï wanted to provoke chance in the layout of shapes and the distribution of colors. Discover the method used by the artist.
