Le Havre dedicates an exhibition to the wind. More than a hundred artists paint the invisible

The Musée d’Art moderne André Malraux in Le Havre presents an exhibition project dedicated to wind until October 2, 2022. Titled The Wind. What cannot be painted, the exhibition aims to give form to the invisible, through one hundred and seventy works, including paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, videos, and glass, made from antiquity to the contemporary age. A challenge with which humans have grappled over the centuries; with the invention of cinema, the wind could be suggested by a moving image.

How can “that which cannot be painted” take form, which, “combining incoherence and invisibility, eludes direct imitation and transcends the territory deputed to representation”? In painting, the wind appears miraculously, like a figurative epiphany. The exhibition brings together more than one hundred artists, including Dürer, Goya, Hiroshige, Hokusaï, Turner, Corot, Millet, Nadar, Monet, Renoir, the Lumière brothers, Sorolla, Vallotton, Arp, Man Ray, Lartigue, Brassaï, and many others.

The exhibition is curated by Annette Haudiquet, Jacqueline Salmon, and Jean-Christian Fleury, and is supported by the Musée Orsay. It is part of the program of the sixth edition of A Summer in Le Havre, under the artistic direction of Jean Blaise.
