In April, and for twenty years, Denis Godefroy will intervene in the psychiatric world, half a day a week, in an expression workshop set up at the Centre Hospitalier Psychiatrique du Rouvray in Sotteville les Rouen. With his friends, philosophers, painters and sculptors, and the lawyer Jean-Claude Ducable, the artist opens an associative gallery, Déclinaisons, on rue de l'École in Rouen. He exhibited his Self-portraits there. Autoportraits.
In Paris, at the Salon de Mai, he rubs shoulders with Joël Kermarrec Le Poids de la peinture as well as Sonia Delaunay Rythme - Couleur, Hartung T 1971 H 19, Léon Zack Peintures 78 and Otto Teichert. As in the previous year, he exhibits at the Salon "Grands et Jeunes d'aujourd'hui".
