#smrgKİTABEVİ Profiller : Fransa'da Sanatsal Yaratının Son 15 Yılı / Profils : 15 Ans de Creation Artistique En France = Profiles : 15 Years of Artistic Creation in France - 2016
Where does the French artistic scene stand in regard to the last fifteen years? What are its eminent character traits? What are its dominant trends? Did nay notable change come about to transform its physiognomy? These are so many questions brought into play by this idea of sketching a "profile" and not a "panorama" of its present status. The semantic differentiation between these two words is quite imposing here. If the notion ofpanorama supposes a scope and an extent which imply a broadenedvision of the situation, that of profile does not make out the same meaningand sooner accentuates the idea of an overview, a digest, followingthe example of an artist who endeavours to give a thumbnailsketch of his model in an attempt to express its essential traits. Thefamous art critic Philippe Piguet put it, this exposition "which intended to highlight a present state of art production as it developed in France more or less in the last fifteen years and what is more insomuch as it is sifted though sieves of public collections" blew like a spring breeze wafting a gentle air from France into the halls of Pera Museum, and gave the contemporary artistic panorama of a country that has always been amongst the vanguards of European Art.
