4 hrs : Screening of short programmes of 2 mn each :

Programme « D’art d’art » : a work of art is presented and depicted in 2 mn by the TV presenter. This show resorts to animation and special effects which makes it very original and entertaining. The following works of art will be presented :

Mr Jaubert will talk about the way films on art are produced in France and about his own experience as author and director of « Palettes », one of the most famous television programme about art in France. « Palettes » is a programme of art popularization focused on paintings. It was created by Alain Jaubert more than 10 years ago and it is still screened on French television. Every programme deals with one work of art and unveils its secrets : the material and the paint brush used, the historical context surrounding the painting, the characters, etc. The programme reveals to the larger public elements usually reserved to the specialists of history of art.
