The Bibliothèque nationale de France is dedicating a major exhibition to Colette (1873 - 1954), an essential figure in 20th-century literature. The exhibition outlines the worlds of an independent woman, often ahead of her time, who managed to create an innovative, daring, and sometimes transgressive body of work that remains strikingly relevant. Manuscripts, paintings, photographs, prints, and emblematic objects shed light on the themes that run through Colette’s work and life – femininity, identity, emancipation, nature, desire – as well as the constant mirror play between the author of "Le Blé en herbe" and her characters, between fiction and self-expression.
