"Through this exhibition we are witnessing a show that takes us along the route pursued by the artist in his quest for happiness and creativity. The exhibition aims to present the resolute side of the artist who, despite the hardships he was facing ? as he was compelled to move from Nice because of the Second World War, but who was also suffering from cancer ? let his creativity flourish, continuing to impress to this day," says Adela Mara, cultural director of the Noblesse Cultural Association, quoted in the release.
