One of the first international film stars, the Tramp, a vagabond as funny as he is moving, became, upon his appearance in 1914, the darling of the Western world, taking over movie theaters and appearing in newspapers and advertisements. But the character created by Charlie Chaplin was not just a media and popular phenomenon. The filmmaker also had a direct influence on the artists of his time, with whom he shared many of the same thoughts and concerns. The exhibition thus offers a unique reading of avant-garde works through the cinema of Charlie Chaplin. From Fernand Léger to Marc Chagall, from Alexander Calder to René Magritte, nearly 200 creations from collections around the world are displayed in light of Chaplin's expression and redraw the assertive exchanges, the simple echoes or unconscious dialogues between the creators who together took the turn towards modernity, at the time of the birth of cinema as the seventh art.
