Do you know Marcel Barbeau — the unpredictable one of the Automatist group, the innovator with a passion for movement, always himself in movement?

After more than seventy intense years of work, he left us with the brush still in his hand. This site sets out to show how, as early as 1946, he explored all-over space and gestural painting before Pollock; how, in echo of Stockhausen's Gesang der Jünglinge, he translated movement into drawing, then into optical painting and virtual imagery.

You'll discover a major sculptor who, from the mid-1940s onward, produced wholly non-figurative sculpture animated by problems of space and choreographic movement that run through his entire sculptural body of work. The site also reveals the transdisciplinarity of his visual practice, always attentive to the other arts.

All this, and much more. We invite you to come closer to a major artist — through his work and public life, and also through his private one.

Welcome to the world of Marcel Barbeau.
