“Plus jamais seul, Hervé Di Rosa and the modest arts” is the latest in La maison rouge's cycle of exhibitions showing private collections, on display through January 22, 2017.Following on from Arnulf Rainer in 2005 and Jean-Jacques Lebel in 2010, this is the third time the foundation has invited an artist to present his own works, in the light of works and objects he has collected. A prominent figure of the art scene and a major protagonist of Free Figuration since the 1980s, Hervé Di Rosa (born 1959 in Sète) has campaigned for recognition of modest art, which he says "has ties with popular art, primitive art, art brut, but is also more than that.” In 2000, he opened the Musée International des Arts Modestes (MIAM) in Sète. The museum's director since its opening, this is where, exhibition after exhibition, he reveals the multiple facets of this modest art.The exhibition is at La maison rouge, 10 bd de la bastille, 75012 Paris.
