The pictorial scores of Henry Valensi
Henry Valensi (1883-1960), conductor of the « musicalist » movement, is still mainly unknown, even if his name is correlated to major events of the history of art, such as the « Section d’Or » exhibition in 1912 in Paris, of which he was one of the organizers. Since recently, the work of the founder of the « Musicalisme » movement regains interest. How can we nowadays look at the painting of this artist who developped, between 1936 and 1959 a now mythical « Cinépeinture ».
