The December 15 session will be devoted to Polish artists, writers and filmmakers Franciszka and Stefan Themerson, authors of the avant-garde film Europa in 1931.
The session will take place at 6:30 pm in the Jacqueline Lichtenstein auditorium of the Institut national d'histoire de l'art (INHA), Galerie Colbert, with Jasia Reichardt, art critic, curator, niece of Franciszka and Stefan Themerson, and Klaudia Podsiadlo, art historian, founder of the common room.
Research on dispossession works of art, books and musical instruments are growing. But what about dispossession in the film industry ? Through the artistic and European career of Themerson and the spoliation of their films, Jasia Reichardt and Klaudia Podsiadlo will make us discover this little-known part of the history of spoliations.
The seminar is organized by the Institut national d'histoire de l'art (INHA) and the Mission de recherche et de restitution des biens culturels spoliés entre 1933 et 1945 (M2RS), in collaboration with the Institut national du patrimoine (INP). Its field of investigation is the context, meaning and consequences of the research of provenance and the restitution of works of art. This seminar is open to all.
All seminar sessions are broadcast on the INHA YouTube channel.
