Farah Atassi

The discreet dialogue that Farah Atassi has been conducting with the work of Pablo Picasso for several years has gradually become part of the contemporary re-readings of the Spanish artist. Between figuration and abstraction, the painter anchors her work in the modernist inspiration of the years 1910-1920 by the stylization of her drawing, a choice of muted colors and a cubist conception of space. The paintings of Farah Atassi are almost conceptually figurative and seem to echo the neoclassical cubism that Picasso developed at the end of the 1910s, the theatrical and poetic curtain of Parade of 1917 or his Harlequin of 1915, his refined still lifes in paper collage or his first Bathers. As part of the new program, it seemed natural and appropriate to present the work of the artist Farah Atassi at the Musée national Picasso-Paris. Her exhibition, curated by Florence Derieux, brings together some fifteen of her most recent works, the majority of which were specially produced for the Musée national Picasso-Paris. It is accompanied by a monographic catalog.
