'La Maison de la Bellone offers, with 4Ecce Ubu4, a panorama of the metamorphoses of the character in the various visual arts: painting, engraving, drawing, sculpture, illustration. Indeed, since its scandalous appearance in 1896, Ubu has never ceased to challenge the creative imagination of artists to invade all spheres of contemporary culture, from the "major arts" to mass imagery. The exhibition will shed light on the dominant features, the impact and the astonishing diversity of an iconography that has just secularized, through a selection of works and documents in which we will meet, in addition to Jarry, Pierre Bonnard, Max Ernst, Enrico Baj, Franciszka Themerson, Aline Gagnaire, Joan Miro, Roberto Matta, Magritte, Pierre Alechinsky, Jean Raine, Marcel Mariën.. With 'Jarry Ymagier', the Rops Museum will for its part discover a wide range of the plastic work of AIfred Jarry, both in his kinship of spirit with other artists and in his profound originality. The exhibition will also make it possible to appreciate the thematic coherence of this work. entirely animated by a principle of diversion of received imagery. We will find there works and documents by Jarry, Rops, Demolder and also by Dubuffet, Enrico Baj, Max Elskamp, Boris Vian, Carelman, the PostZozo, Roland Monteyne. (Musee Rops).
