We will recall the various exhibitions that have taken place at the gallery, such as Auguste Herbin 'The Majesty of Painting', 'Immobile Mobility' with, among others, Jean d'Imbleval, Timo Nasseri, Siegfried Kreitner or Victor Vasarely, 'Aurélie Nemours among friends' including Jean Leppien, Ode Bertrand, Gottfried Honegger or Henri Prosi.

Auguste Herbin (1881-1960), whose plastic alphabet he developed around 1930 and continued to refine until the end of his career, was highly innovative. Many artists of subsequent generations were inspired by his discovery, continuing the development of geometric abstraction, one of the longest-running movements in the history of art.

In January 2023, we inaugurated an exhibition on the theme of 'Immobile Mobility'. This provided an opportunity to present unique works from the Lahumière collection, as well as to explore the history of the impression of movement and distortion. We will be featuring works by artists rarely exhibited at the gallery, including Jean d'Imbleval, Siegfried Kreitner, and Timo Nasseri.
Aurélie Nemours (1910-2005), during her lifetime, established a prize bearing her name, intended to reward any artist, regardless of their discipline, whose work pursues the rigorous and spiritually imbued artistic quest that characterized her own.
She wrote: "Believing that art is a battle against the disarray of our civilization, I firmly believe that the spiritual charge of art is the only recourse and the only salvation."

Among his contemporaries was Jean Leppien (1910-1991), a student of Joseph Albers and Wassily Kandinsky, who studied at the Bauhaus in Dessau, a revolutionary school that embraced multidisciplinarity, forging connections between the arts and everyday life. Throughout his career, he remained true to the Bauhaus principles. He was also a member of the committee of the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles, responsible for the geometric abstraction section, as was Henri Prosi (1936-2010). Prosi, too, was one of those artists committed to helping others; joining the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles in 1965, he tirelessly championed the geometric abstraction section from 1988 onward, becoming a committee member and later vice-president.

Another friend of Aurélie Nemours, who seems somewhat forgotten, Gottfried Honegger (1917-2016), is no less significant. He created the Espace de l'Art Concret in Mouans-Sartoux and donated his private collection to the French state, a collection that includes many works by artists of geometric abstraction and a large part of his own oeuvre. Shortly before his death in September 2016, we dedicated an exhibition to him, during which he explained the social commitment of his work in one of his characteristically eloquent speeches. Throughout his life, he worked concretely for a better life together.

All these artists have committed themselves in their own way to a better world, sometimes in a spiritual or concrete way; we owe them a great deal of balance and recognition.
