Paris Post War: Art and existentialism 1945-55
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.I know my faults all too well, the imperfection of my best paintings. But it seems to me that I do not attach as much importance to the imperfections in these works as I like to in works of others.
The Giacometti exhibition with Pierre Matisse is going to be almost totally sold out. The best art critics are on his side. However, I admire what he does and I do like the man's personality although his work is irregular. Without a doubt one of the best artists of our time. But we are not on the same tracks.
