The latter draws on t he visual codes and iconographic tradition Image\, how to regenerate the f igurative composition. For those leaves which often takes the theme of nat ional colors\, Dufy has increased the preparatory studies\, in pencil\, in k or gouache that have never been reproduced or exhibited since the time o f their creation.

Ma sterful paintings and a remarkable collection of books illustrated with wo odcuts will take the full measure of the production of an artist particula rly active during this period\, when he was drafted in the Train (automoti ve service) and made available to Library-Museum of War in Paris. A collec tion of works by Dufy prior to 1915\, including the famous street decked w ith flags of the Fauve period\, which opens the show\, introducing the the me of the flag\, declined in many of his prints and demonstrate his master y of the woodcut and passion for folk art that will feed all his work of w ar.\n\nExposure: Partners\n\nAn exemplary partnership between the National Museum of Modern Art\, Pompidou Centre and the regional museum of ancient and contemporary art has to engage\, beyond the deposit of works\, a frui tful research partnership that led to this exhibition and a scientific cat alog\, original and scientifically scientist led by Christian Briend.\nThe majority of works in the exhibition belong to the collections of the Cent re Pompidou / Museum of Modern Art which was filed with the county museum of ancient and modern art in Epinal in 1986.\n\nOther works are lent by th e International Contemporary Documentation Library\, heir to the War Museu m which Dufy was the conservative\, by the National Institute of History o f Art\, the Musée Malraux in Le Havre and the Museum of Art Moderne in Par is\, and several private collectors.\n\nThe partnership with the Museum of Image\, which lends the images d'\;Epinal and contributes to scientifi c catalog is an opportunity to recall the original purpose of the regional museum who helped establish the Fund'\;s current popular images of the Museum Image of the deposit that has since 2002.\n\n\nThe curators of the exhibition\nCommissioner General: Philippe Bata\, chief curator of the co unty museum of ancient and modern art.\n\nCommissioner science: Christian Briend\, chief curator at the Pompidou Center\, National Museum of Modern Art.\n\nPractical Information\nDepartmental museum of ancient art and cont emporary\nA place Lagarde - 88000 Epinal\n \nDavid Rozenfarb\nConseil Géné ral des Vosges\nDVSP- Direction de la Communication Externe\nService Press e\n9\, rue Gambetta - 88000 EPINAL\nTél : +33 3 29 38 52 06\nFax : 03 29 2 9 87 33 DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20110617T190000Z DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20110919T185959Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Battlefield Archaeology Conference DTSTAMP:20040724T225959Z SEQUENCE:1 UID:40ee37fba92d396844d521273589ab2d@50.28.75.145 ORGANIZER;CN="Chris_Baker":gwfteam@gmail.com DESCRIPTION:Digging Up People: Battlefield Archaeology Conference \nNati onal Army Museum\, Chelsea\, London\n\nA unique opportunity to hear leader s in the field of archaeology speak about key issues affecting modern batt lefield archaeology.
