The exhibition


Combas and Brassens, the slang of words and colors

"We must also speak of his painting as a slang painting, insofar as Combas twists the rules and plastic conventions (the deformations of his titles echo the disfigurations of his painting)," noted Bernard Marcadé. In 2021, the centenary of the singer is therefore an opportunity to see these paintings of stories much more than history, but also a series of portraits just made. Described as "unattached" by the painter, they transform the image of Brassens into a surface filled with characters and signs, to the point of turning over his most iconic attribute in En avant toute pipe en avant... with his pipes like the arrows of a Saint Sebastian. To this form of homage, Robert Combas added Sète, to which he dedicated several paintings in 2000.
