For the first time, this catalogue explores the figure of the artist, this extraordinary being who has never ceased to tear himself away from his position as a craftsman to conquer a superior status, worthy of the prestige due to his creative genius.
About a hundred works tell this exceptional story through several thematic sections: individualization through signature, emancipation through corporatism, elevation through the fabrication of "genius", consecration through self-representation, and distance through the revelation of the "behind the scenes".

Exhibition at the Palais des Beaux-Arts, Lille from September 20th 2019 to January 6th 2020.

Written in French.
160 pages / 100 illustrations
