From July 8 to October 15, 2023, the MO.CO. is organizing the first French retrospective of the painter Neo Rauch.
Enigmatic and ambiguous, Neo Rauch’s paintings require long, slow viewing to appreciate their complexity of composition, games of scale, and abundance of symbols. They forge unexpected links between periods and places, history and the present, and depend on references to the Italian Renaissance, German Romanticism, and Socialist Realism. Practicing a “dreamlike” mode of painting in which he freely assembles scenes and allusions, Neo Rauch offers the spectator multiple, idiosyncratic reflections on history, heritage, the power of art, the role of the artist, and the impasses of our contemporary society.
MO.CO. | Open from Tuesday to Sunday, from 11am to 7pm (June-September) and from 11am to 6pm (October-May)
