Retrospective

curated by Marianne Alphant, Nathalie Léger

After Hitchcock and art, Roland Barthes or indeed Jean Cocteau, the Centre Pompidou offers a retrospective of the rich and unusual work of the great Irish novelist and playwright Samuel Beckett (1906-1989). Establishing a dialogue between the main themes of Beckett's work and contemporary artists, the exhibition reveals a new vision of the author of Waiting For Godot.

For the public at large, Beckett is a writer difficult to seize, an emaciated Irish man with the profile of an eagle. The exhibition the Centre Pompidou is dedicating to him, in the line of those dedicated to Roland Barthes or Jean Cocteau, shows a greatly varied work, including an experimental movie (Film, shot in 1964 with Buster Keaton) and programs for television. Aside from the elements expected from such a retrospective (photographs, manuscripts and letters underline the choice of bilinguism Beckett made, once he settled in France in 1938), the curators wished to place the work of the Nobel winner face to face with that of artists who were his contemporaries such as Sol LeWitt or Richard Ryman, or with current creators who have designed visual or sound installations.
