Collection: Seen from behind

The exhibition "Vues de dos, une figure sans portrait" (Back Views, a Figure Without a Portrait) at Les Franciscaines de Deauville explores the unprecedented motif of the human back in Western art, from the Middle Ages to the present day.

The culmination of four years of research by Annie Madet-Vache, it brings together around a hundred works by masters such as Tiepolo, Watteau, Toulouse-Lautrec, Rodin, and Dufy.

The back becomes a powerful symbolic language, evoking emotions, identity, and suggestion through the nape of the neck, without showing the face.

Presented from February 28 to May 31, 2026, it examines the evolution of how we view the body and the spectator.

And for us, it's an opportunity to present Lalou's work, all in softness and delicacy, of "backs".
