L'EXPOSITION DE 1937 AURA LIEU --- Maquette générale de l'Exposition Maquette "PERFECTA". Photo Chevojon En présentant au public ce numéro consacré à la prochaine Exposition, je remercie L'ART VIVANT de sa nouvelle initiative, si utile après tant d'autres. À huit mois de l'ouverture, l'heure est passée des controverses et des discussions théoriques. On prouve le mouvement en marchant. Une analyse objective, une impartiale mise au point, mieux encore, la présentation des projets et des programmes : telle est la tâche qui s'impose. Aujourd'hui, le plan directeur est totalement élaboré, chaque terrain est attribué, chaque pavillon tracé, coté, chiffré. Il ne s'agit que de construire. Architecture provisoire, faite de matériaux légers. Le temps peut encore suffire, pourvu que suffise l'argent, nerf essentiel de la bâtisse. Il m'appartient moins qu'à tout autre de louer l'effort accompli, d'en préjuger les résultats. Qu'il me soit du moins permis d'en analyser le sens et d'en définir la portée. La Vie Moderne : Arts et Techniques. Programme aussi difficile à limiter qu'à remplir. Dans l'espace, l'Exposition apparaît universelle. À Paris, aux provinces, aux Colonies françaises, s'ajoutent quarante-deux nations, chiffre encore inégalé. On ne saurait trop se réjouir de cette confiance mondiale dans le succès de l'entreprise. S'il est parfois difficile d'être prophète en son pays, l'expérience prouve que, du moins, on peut l'être au pays des autres. « Arts et Techniques » : un pareil titre ne contient-il pas la somme des activités humaines ? « Il n'est pas de serpent, ni de monstre odieux » « Qui, par l'Art imité, ne puisse plaire aux yeux. » Où sont ces monstres odieux ? Au Pavillon des Chemins de fer ou de l'Electricité, dans celui de l'Agriculture ou de l'Alimentation ? Ce sont là, bien au contraire, les thèmes les plus séduisants proposés à l'invention de nos artistes modernes. Le talent de nos architectes et de nos décorateurs prouvera, une fois encore, que Boileau n'a pas menti. D'autre part, la présentation de tant de techniques diverses ne devra pas ressembler à une table des matières, à une encyclopédie. Elle se limite au présent, aux progrès réalisés pendant la dernière décennie. Sélection d'actualité, sélection de qualité. Ce n'est pas la pédagogie des vitrines et des statistiques qui traduit la vie d'un pays, c'est la vision directe de son labeur quotidien. Plus de palais chimériques, destinés à s'évanouir au lendemain de la féerie. C'est dans le cadre réel de la maison, du magasin, de l'atelier que s'harmonisent les œuvres. Qu'est-ce qu'une exposition ? C'est ce que les architectes appellent un état actuel, les géologues une coupe, les financiers un bilan, les commerçants un inventaire et les philosophes, sans doute, un examen de conscience. À l'heure où la crise mondiale fait germer en tant d'esprits les mortelles semences du doute, il n'est pas de plus sûr viatique que de puiser dans la revue de nos forces, de nos ressources, de nos possibilités infinies, des raisons de croire en nous-mêmes, et des motifs d'espérer. PAUL LEON. Commissaire général-adjoint de l'Exposition de 1937.
