Poster Galerie Maeght Living art in the United States Paris 1970

It is a bit of this artistic hubbub that the exhibition “living art in the united states” reminds us of which the maeght foundation made its summer event this year. But without wanting to. Because as much as the variety of “living art” in america, it is also the use we make of it that is at stake here. It's a language. American artists, as the late barnett newman said, needed a subject worth painting: their own reaction to this world le monde 1970.
