If the Pari website has had a makeover lately, the artistic factory has also decided to breathe new life into the cycle that has been so successful for many years, the one devoted to works of art that have long been deciphered. and enlightened by the conferences of Alain-Jacques Lévrier-Mussat.

It is Erika Bretton, artist and art historian, at the head of the contemporary experimentation laboratory Omnibus, who will be at the helm of a series of meetings devoted to landscape painting, from the Renaissance to the present day. , through land art interventions and installations or the work of painters from the Barbizon school. “Long present in art in this pictorial form, nature has in turn been idealized, sublimated, recreated or fantasized, evolving according to a search for more and more realism towards a pure artistic vision” writes Erika Bretton. Far from a modern vision during which, mistreated and in danger, nature sometimes becomes a raw material to realize the work of art. This evolution should therefore be discussed during one of the four conferences given chronologically throughout the month of June.

Wednesday June 1, at 7 p.m., at Pari, “Birth of a genre, landscape painting”.Prices: 4€.
Wednesday June 8, “Nature in the art of the first half of the 20th century”, Wednesday June 15, “In the heart of nature / Land Art and other in situ practices”, Wednesday June 22, “Art and the environment / contemporary approaches” .
