André Masson left France for New York in March 1941. During his crossing, he stopped off in Martinique where he stayed for three weeks. Inspired by the luxuriance of the landscapes of Martinique, he created Antille, one of the masterpieces of his "American period", which synthesizes the exoticism discovered during his trip. In homage to André Masson, the Center Pompidou -Metz is pleased to present Antilia d’Allora & Calzadilla. The installation brings together two major recent works, Graft (2019) and Penumbra (2020), centered on the Caribbean where the artists live and work. Anchored in the concrete realities of this complex archipelago, Antilia's works question the way in which colonialism and ecology intersect with the construction of Empire.
