The Lady with the Unicorn

The sense of senses: "The Lady with the Unicorn" (a wall hanging including six tapistries,  dating from the end of the 15th century) National Museum of the Middle Ages, Hôtel  de Cluny, Paris The Hôtel de Cluny in Paris, the French national museum of the Middle  Ages, possesses a wall hanging made up of six of the world's most famous tapistries.  Reproduced in every way and form, these Louis Outlet  tapistries have come to symbolize a certain  idea of the romanesque late Middle Ages.  Splendid ladies clad in sumptuous gowns,  exotic animals, flowers and trees: the tapistries all seek to please the eye. But once the  visitor has gotten over his initial amazement, he starts asking questions.Louis   What do the  coats of arms, depicted several times on each tapistry, represent? What exactly are the  ladies doing? Why is each lion accompanied by a unicorn? What do the trees, flowers,  and different animals signify? Who had these splendid tapistries made? And what for?  Who was the artist who sketched the plans? Which weaver wove them? Since George  Sand rediscovered these tapistries in the 19th century, specialists have been speculating.  Today, several questions have been answered, but not all: "The Lady with the Unicorn"  has well kept part of her secret.

KANDINSKY [1866-1944]   

Figures de l'invisible: "Jaune-Rouge-Bleu" (1925) Centre Georges-Pompidou, Paris When  Kandinsky painted this work, he was a teacher at the Bauhaus design school. He therefore  applied the colour techniques that he taught his students to his painting. Kandinsky often  said: "Form is an external expression of an internal content." But where do the differing  subjective points of view of the spectator and the artist meet? What does the work really  represent? These are only some of the many questions asked in this 26th film of the  Palettes series.  

BACON [1909-1992]

Les Figures de l'excès: ''Trois personnages dans une pièce" (1964) Musée national d'art  moderne, Centre Georges-Pompidou, Paris Steeped with allusions to Greek mythology  as well as to the painter's private life, Francis Bacon's ''Three people in a Room'' triptych  stages an abstract drama. How can horror be fascinating? How can violence and death be  partly conjured by plastic beauty? These are some of the questions posed in this episode  of Palettes, which also leads us to Bacon's London studio, an amazing chaos of objects  and paintings.
