Exposition WARHOL

WARHOL, an exceptional exhibition by the artist in Landerneau! A friend of the artists and celebrities of his generation, he immortalised their portraits: Truman Capote, Dolly Parton, Yves Saint Laurent, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Jacky Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe... An emblematic figure of Pop Art and a visionary, Andy WARHOL challenged the codes of twentieth-century art and advocated "access to art for all". The Pop Art movement was inspired by popular and consumer culture. From 06 June, discover Warhol's 'commercials' in France's leading supermarket!
