Brous de noix au musée Soulages
Outrenoir du musée Soulages à RodezThe Soulages museum is unique, due to its location and its architecture in the heart of a park, and is home to the largest collection in the world of works by painter Pierre Soulages. A varied collection which traces back all the painter’s artistic work
Statues-menhirs au musée Fenaille de RodezIn the 1940s, the young Pierre Soulages met the gaze of the standing stones of the Fenaille museum. “When for the first time I saw the engraved stones in the Fenaille museum, it was a shock“. The astonishing series of walnut stains carried out in the years 1947-1949 evokes the same head-on impact, a radicality of construction.
