ActualitéDu 1er avril au 27 août 2023

Marcelle Cahn is an important figure for the history of the Museum in its collections through three works, she has already been highlighted there since 1961, during the historical exhibition of the Mesure group founded by Georges Folmer (1895-1977), thanks to the invitation of Francis Pellerin and Marie Berhaut, then professor at the School of Fine Arts in Rennes and director of the museum. This first and only exhibition of the Mesure group in France strongly influenced the museum’s acquisition policy, to the point of giving it a strong identity in the field of geometric abstract art. An entire room in the museum is still dedicated to the Mesure group in the permanent route on the first floor.
