Almost thirty works, more than forty years of painting and a story spanning France, Rome, Egypt and Salento. Darte brings Régis Deparis’s retrospective to Lecce, produced within Lecce Art Week and curated by Tancredi Hertzog-Guarini with Galerie T&L in Paris. Twelve years earlier, writing in La Règle du Jeu, Gilles Hertzog had called for a major retrospective of the artist and identified Lecce as one of the places where it should happen. The project turns that possibility into reality, bringing renewed attention to an original and difficult-to-classify figure in European painting of the second half of the twentieth century.
