An intense retrospective , the first after thirty years in Italy, about this french artist, a pioneer of the most audacious artistic avantgardes of the first 20th century.

Ferrara Arte in cooperation with the Statens Museum for Kunst of Copenhagen presents a rich panaorama over the fauvist experiences, in the carrier's beginning of the artist, and the fascination for the primitive art, the italian journey and then, after the first world war, the more severe renewal, almost in the line of the gothic-medieval art, untill the great decorative compositions of the last twenty years, the big theatrical "mise-en-scene" with which ends his meditation of rare quality about the art.
