Hervé Di Rosa's 'En toute modestie' at MIAM Sète
The Musée International des Arts Modestes (MIAM) in Sète is currently hosting 'En toute modestie,' the second installment focused on Hervé Di Rosa, the pioneer of 'art modeste.' The first segment took place at La Maison Rouge in Paris from October 22, 2016, to January 22, 2017. This exhibition offers a 'portrait-patchwork' of Di Rosa, displaying a selection of his pieces alongside numerous works lent by Antoine de Galbert, including art brut.
