Paris and New York, the emblematic capitals of modern art, represent two crucial stages in the artist’s long career. Paris was his chosen city, and thanks to the avant-garde movements of the 1910s, it provided the young Russian painter with a pool of experimental work, which he enriched with his own cultural references. New York was primarily a place of exile during the 1940s, and yet it gave the artist’s creativity fresh impetus.

The Carrières de Lumières is the setting for masterpieces created by Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael between the late 15th century and early 16th century in Florence, Milan and Rome. The spectacle offers a moving face to face with portraits that display their perfection in fine detail on the quarry walls, whereas the frescoes impress as much by their monumental dimensions as by the extraordinary gallery of characters which populates them.

‘Anitya’ is a journey from the past to the present: visitors are initially immersed in a seabed and then explore the interior of a U-Boat: pipes, casing, and valves swirl around and are taken apart to the rhythm of machines in a frenzy of graphics, and are replaced by the submarine base, which is uninhabited and devoid of human activity.

The result is a poetic, emotional, and immersive experience, which is continuously viewable in LE STUDIO.
