We paid a visit to Le Centre Pompidou-Metz this morning for an  
exhibition focussed on the Year 1917.
Greg will remember the place I think.

So here is an very limited excerpt of the works and artefacts on  
display; the lead is that these works of art were created in the very  
specific context of WWI.
The result is a mix of military reminders, works of arts produced by  
the population at large and by the soldiers themselves, photographs  
and casts showing the atrocious conditions both sides to the conflict  
lived in or survived with.
It also includes pieces famous the world over and created on that year  
1917.

My selection starts here:

Also, some may be better viewed LARGE.

Bien cordialement de Metz, Lorraine
Philippe
