The title of this exhibition is an extract from an André Bazin critic on the movie “ Le Mystère Picasso” by Henri Georges Clouzot, in which he stresses that this movie filmed in color, is developed in the most part in black and white.

The spectator only recalls the parts kept in color in which Picasso is painting on a glass slab, he does not remember that the movie is mainly in black and white.

The exhibition The Real World is in black and white leads to the questioning of the notion of truth in color. A new found unity between night and day can be perceived.

The exhibition presents pieces from different artists working around black and around white, or using color in a way that unexpectedly, doesn’t give the spectator the immediate impression to be in front of color.
