Maria Mesterou – Mircea Milcovitch: Grammar of the Sign
The 2026 exhibition at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Nancy presents works by Maria Mesterou and Mircea Milcovitch from the donation of François Paul-Cavallier. Rooted in the context of kinetic and optical art of the 1960s and 1970s, the exhibition brings together a significant body of serigraphies where color and geometry articulate a visual language of signs. Beyond its historical framework, the exhibition reveals the early structure of a singular artistic trajectory. Through this donation, François Paul-Cavallier highlights not only a moment in art history, but the foundation of a deeper inquiry into perception, spirituality, and the transmission of meaning through form.
