Festival du dessin d’Arles : ce qu’il ne faut surtout pas rater pour cette quatrième édition
The fourth edition of the Arles Drawing Festival has opened, featuring over forty exhibitions across the city. The highlights include two major private drawing collections being publicly presented: Marin Karmitz's collection, displayed at the Sainte-Anne church under the title "Et la vie continue…", and the Collezione Ramo from Milan, showcased at the Museon Arlaten chapel as part of a focus on Italian art.
The festival's success is marked by a vibrant 'off' program and its role in federating diverse initiatives around the medium of drawing. The presentation of these two significant private collections offers rare public access to masterworks, tracing artistic movements and themes from darkness to vitality, and underscores the festival's growing importance as a major platform dedicated exclusively to drawing in its historical and contemporary forms.
