The Bourbonnais collection, from Paris to Dicy
Forty years ago, the architect Alain Bourbonnais (1925-1988) and his wife Caroline (1924-2014) they opened to the public what until then had been their country house, in Dicy (today Charny-Orée-de-Puisaye), in Yonne. This anniversary, which the Halle Saint-Pierre in Paris judiciously celebrates, is a beautiful tribute to a family adventure (their daughters continue to animate the place) which began with the discovery, in 1946, of the brut art exhibition organized by Jean Dubuffet at the Parisian gallery Drouin. The announcement in 1971 by Dubuffet himself that his collection would take refuge in Switzerland, in Lausanne, encouraged Bourbonnais to take over, with the master’s blessing. He first opens a gallery, the Atelier Jacob, dedicated to what he prefers to call “exceptional art”of which he seems to have been the best customer.
Supported by the deceased critic Michel Ragon (1924-2020)exhibited by Suzanne Pagé in 1978 at the ARCat the Musée d’art moderni de la Ville de Paris under the title “Les Singuliers de l’art”, the Bourbonnais collection is therefore partly visible to the Parisian public, just enough, we hope, to make it desired, on sunny days, for visit her in this magical place that is Dicy.

The Political Art of Faith Ringgold
Faith Ringgold, born in 1930 in Harlem, is finally welcomed into an important French museum. She was now her, because she appears more and more as one of the major artists of the North American scene. It is she who paints, starting from the 1960s, and not without suffering the consequences, and therefore censorships and trials, both the fight against segregation and for real racial equality and, at the same time, for gender equality. Alternately figurative and narrative or made of geometrically arranged words, her art is political, but also romantic and autobiographical. The exhibition, which arises from the one held at the New Museum, in New York, in 2022, focuses in particular on the works in which she dialogues, on an equal footing, between admiration and irony, with Picasso and other French moderns. .
