MAAD | „Chagall, Picasso, Ernst. Ceramics and tapestries” and Darius Hecq-Cauquil “Reconnection with Origins”
Chagall, Picasso, Ernst. Ceramics and tapestries
For the first time not only in Lithuania, but also in neighbouring countries, the Museum of Applied Arts and Design is presenting 23 ceramics by Chagall and Picasso – pans, plates, vases, jugs and 12 tapestries woven by the artist Yvette Cauquil-Prince, based on the sketches of Chagall, Picasso and Ernst. The works naturally fall into six themes: the Bible, war and peace, the shtetl, love, the circus and the corrida. The artists talk about fundamental ethical and moral values, strive for harmony with nature, and take a nostalgic look at childhood.
Darius Hecq-Cauquil “Reconnection with Origins“
Darius Hecq-Cauquil has been exhibiting since 1976. He has had over 40 solo exhibitions in France, Belgium, Spain, Japan and other countries. His works are included in French national collections, including the Centre Pompidou National d’Art et Culture. This is the first time that Hecqo-Cauquil’s work has been presented in Lithuania. The exhibition “Reconnection with Origins” features 20 of the artist’s works, including a tapestry, compositions on canvas made of sawdust and oil on canvas, and wood sculptures decorated with oil on stone or wood smoothed by sea waves.
