« Les animaux sont des gens comme les autres ! » | Exposition Gilles Aillaud | Centre Pompidou


Lions, giraffes, seals… Gilles Aillaud, who died in 2005, painted animals a lot, often in captivity. Asked about his choice of animals as subject matter, Gilles Aillaud replied: “because I love them”. The fragility of our relationship with living things shows the relevance of his work.

Vinciane Despret, philosopher of science, shows us four paintings by the artist, in the company of Didier Ottinger, curator of the exhibition “Gilles Aillaud. Political animal »
