The exhibition ‘Tribute to the Greek Resistance, 1940-1944’ opened on October 1st in Paris at the Memorial Leclerc - Museum Jean Moulin in Paris in a presentation running to November 2 2008. The exhibition is organized by the Hellenic Foundation for Culture and the National Gallery - Museum Alexandros Soutzos and is supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Greece, framing the events for the French presidency in the European Union (PFUE). The tribute is conducted under the aegis of the Greek Embassy in Paris. These works of art are presented to the French public for the very first time. The opening was attended by a large audience including survivors of World War II, college students, and many dignitaries from the political and arts scenes of Greece and France.

The donation of the French artists includes thirty paintings, six drawings, six engravings, four sculptures and two albums of engravings. All the above now belong to the collection of Western European Art of the National Gallery of Athens and were exhibited for the first time in Athens’s French Institute in 1949. Moreover, one hundred and ten manuscripts and typescripts of French intellectuals and members of resistance groups, now kept at the Hellenic Literary and Historical Archive (E.L.I.A.), complete the donation. The donation was presented for the first time in the National Gallery of Athens - Museum Alexandros Soutzos in 1980. 

Important artists of the 20th century like Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Pierre Bonnard, André Masson, Francis Picabia and Raoul Dufy are some of the generous donors of this collection. Paul Claudel, Georges Bernanos, Le Corbusier and Jean-Paul Sartre are amongst the authors who praised the Greeks through their texts. 

The present exhibition is hosted in the Memorial for Leclerc de Hautecloque and for the release of Paris - Museum Jean Moulin. Marshal Leclerc was active by the side of the general De Gaulle, while Jean Moulin was one of the most important figures of the French resistance. The exhibition, thus, acquires particular interest, as the works of art and the texts of the donation to the Greek people correspond to the historical frame of France at the same period of time.
