Portraits of America - Musée Maillol

The Maillol Museum and the Tempora agency are presenting a photography exhibition by artist Andres Serrano to better understand an America engaged in an electoral battle crucial for its future.

More than a photographer, Andres Serrano can be considered an “artist with a camera” as he defines himself. Through his carefully staged photographs, he reveals an often disturbing reality of America. Religion, death, sex, politics, poverty, and violence permeate the work of the American artist. All facets of an America that is both monumental in its triumphalism and fragile in its contradictions.

A master of portraiture, Serrano magnifies the contemporary individual by relying on classical culture, particularly ancient painting, put at the service of a sacred now tinged with pop culture. he photographer’s gaze is as effective as a revolver aimed at a schizophrenic society of which Donald Trump has become both the symptom and the emblem and which will occupy an obsessive place in the discourse of the Maillol Museum’s exhibition.
