The exhibition tour: the spring events not to be missed!

As an appointment from now on, we propose you today a review of the exhibitions that we will have the pleasure to admire this spring in our partner institutions

 

NATIONAL LIBRARY OF FRANCE - SITE FRANÇOIS MITTERRAND - The Champollion adventure. In the secret of hieroglyphs - from April 12 to July 24, 2022

On the occasion of the bicentenary of the deciphering of hieroglyphs, this exhibition focuses on the figure and discoveries of Jean-François Champollion (1790-1832), the father of Egyptology. Barely 32 years old, the young scholar exposes his luminous interpretation of the graphic system of the ancient Egyptians. He thus offered the world the knowledge of the names of the pharaohs who built the pyramids, the deciphering of the books of the dead found in the tombs and the understanding of a lost language and literature. An exhibition that sheds light on Champollion's approach and a spotlight on a civilization that never ceases to fascinate.

PARIS MUSEUM OF MONEY - Coins and Wonders - from May 12 to September 25, 2022

At a time of increasing dematerialization of monetary exchanges, this exhibition is a poetic and sensory journey to the heart of the thousand and one uses of money throughout civilizations.

MUSEUM OF DECORATIVE ARTS - Meeting the Little Prince - February 17 to June 26, 2022

The Little Prince, the last book to be published during Saint-Exupéry's lifetime, was written and published in the United States in 1943 but released in France in 1946. Since then, it has been a success story that crosses borders and eras, carrying a universal message. This is the first major museum exhibition in France devoted to this timeless masterpiece of literature. More than 600 exhibits celebrate the many facets of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry: writer, poet, aviator, explorer, journalist, inventor, philosopher, driven all his life by a humanist ideal, the true driving force behind his work.

The exhibition "Design for all: from Prisunic to Monoprix, a French adventure" retraces in the museum's permanent collections, through more than 500 works (furniture, objects and advertising posters), this creative and committed adventure, which is summarized by the slogan that has become cult: "Beauty at the price of ugliness".

 

MUSEUM OF MODERN ART OF PARIS - Yves Saint Laurent at the museums - from January 29 to May 15, 2022

YVES SAINT LAURENT AT THE MUSEUMS celebrates the 60th anniversary of Yves Saint Laurent's first fashion show and is displayed in six Paris museums: the Centre Pompidou, the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris, the Musée du Louvre, the Musée d'Orsay, the Musée National Picasso-Paris and the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris. It illustrates the continuity and the profound unity of the links that the couturier forged with art and with French public collections.

The itinerary proposed by the Museum of Modern Art takes shape within the permanent collections, alternating monumental rooms and more intimate rooms, and shows - with tributes to Matisse, Bonnard and other artists - how Yves Saint Laurent has the genius to move from the plane to volume, from the aesthetics of the surface to the aesthetics of the body. He does not copy. He does not transpose a painting onto a dress. It is now integrated, it structures the garment. It is not illustration but construction.

MUSEUM OF MODERN ART OF PARIS - Toyen. The absolute gap - from March 25 to July 24, 2022

Born in Prague, Marie Cerminova, known as Toyen (1902-1980) crossed the century always being at the confluence of the most agitating events. At the heart of the Czech avant-garde, she created with Jindrich Styrsky "artifialism" claiming a total identification "of the painter with the poet", constituting between 1926 and 1929 a striking prefiguration of the "lyrical abstraction" of the fifties. Thereafter they will approach surrealism and will create the Czech surrealist group. Maria Cerminova fled from the totalitarianism that settled in Czechoslovakia Starting at 1948 and came to Paris to join the surrealist group in which she will always occupy a place apart pursuing until the end her quest on what links desire and representation

 

JACQUEMART ANDRÉ MUSEUM - Gallen-Karella, myths and nature - from March 11 to July 25, 2022

This exhibition focuses on a dominant aspect of the work of the Endnish painter Akseli Gallen-Kallela (1865-1931), the theme of nature and the Endnish landscape, a theme that runs through his entire career, which evolved from naturalism to symbolism at the turn of the 20th century. Gallen-Kallela was able to represent Endland with an incomparable lyricism. Turning his back on urban modernity, he anchored his work in a wilderness of majestic beauty, following the shimmering unfolding of the seasons, taking as his motif the dense forests and countless Endnish lakes. Symphonic, his landscapes vibrate with all the power of natural elements as if inhabited by ancestral, mythological and sacred forces.

 

PETIT PALAIS - Albert Edelfelt. Lights of Endland - from March 8 to July 10, 2022

Albert Edelfelt (1854 -1905) is one of the pioneers of Endnish painting. Like many artists of the time, he travelled to Paris to launch his career and finally settled there. His style mixing impressionism and realism allowed him to be quickly noticed. At the same time, he continued to travel every summer to Endland where his love for his country and its landscapes was expressed through large and sensitive compositions. A great patriot, he used his notoriety in the fight for the independence of his country against the influence of the all-powerful Russia. This first Parisian retrospective should mark the return to favor in France of a master who has remained very popular in all the Nordic countries.

PETIT PALAIS - Giovanni Boldini, pleasures and days - from March 29 to July 24, 2022

This first retrospective is an opportunity for the French public to (re)discover Giovanni Boldini, a virtuoso painter and figure of the Parisian social, artistic and literary scene of the Belle Époque. Born in Italy, in Ferrara in 1842, Boldini spent most of his career in the City of Light. Close to Degas but also to Proust, he evolved in aristocratic and bourgeois circles and enjoyed undeniable success during his lifetime, becoming the favorite portraitist of a rich and international clientele. In this Parisian capital of fashion, he had no equal when it came to representing princesses and rich heiresses adorned in the most beautiful dresses. His inimitable style, modern but against the grain of the avant-garde, makes his works captivating and moving testimonies of this lost Paris.

 

IN ÎLE-DE-FRANCE

CHÂTEAU DE MAISONS - 1882, a Nordic summer at château de Maisons - from March 12 to June 27, 2022

Wilhelm Tilman Grommé, painter, collector and traveler, was the last private owner of château de Maisons. In the summer of 1882, he invited his old friend, the Endnish painter Adolf von Becker, to use at his leisure the château, its park, and the Old Church of Maisons-Laffitte. Two young Endnish artists, Albert Edelfelt and Gunnar Berndtson, also took advantage of his hospitality to paint at château, accompanied by their favorite model and painter Antonia-Louise Bonjean; a colony of Nordic artists thus settled at château . This exhibition illustrates a little-known page in the history of château and presents a collection of works (paintings, photographs, earthenware, graphic works) produced in Maisons that summer.

 

CHÂTEAU DE CHANTILLY - Albrecht Dürer. Renaissance and engraving - from June 4 to October 2, 2022

Considered during his lifetime as a universal genius, Albrecht Dürer continues to fascinate. Through his engravings, he contributed to shaping the European Renaissance by placing himself at the heart of artistic exchanges. Too rarely exhibited in France, this immense artist is exceptionally honored at Chantilly, with more than 200 works! For the first time, two major collections of Dürer's works in France, that of the Musée Condé in Chantilly and that of the Bibliothèque nationale de France, are joining forces to highlight the dazzling graphic art of the German master, placed at the heart of his own artistic practice and the upheavals of his time.

CITÉ DU VIN - Picasso, the effervescence of forms - from April 15 to August 28, 2022

Representations of cafés and drinkers, variations on the glass and the bottle during the Cubist period, striking and sometimes dramatic evocations, steeped in Catholicism or Greco-Roman mythology, the exhibition Picasso, the effervescence of forms, explores the place of wine and popular spirits in the work of Pablo Picasso, through a wide variety of themes and media (paintings, drawings, ceramics, films...). Bringing together more than eighty works, the exhibition sheds new light on Pablo Picasso's achievements and reveals the effervescent creativity that drove him throughout his life.

 

 

ROYAL ABBEY OF FONTEVRAUD - Winter trip - Conciliabule - February 19 to May 1, 2022

Conciliabules has been imagined as a meeting between two institutions, proposing as much the deepening of the themes composing the permanent course as authorizing winks between emblematic artists of the Museum of Modern Art. For this first edition, the Museums of Art and History of La Rochelle have been chosen for the nature and variety of their collections, some of which are obviously close to the objects that line the museum's path. The exhibition is organized around a common thread, that of the itinerancy of traveling artists who set out to discover the other and the elsewhere.

 

VILLA KÉRYLOS - Dreaming of the Mediterranean - from May 8 to September 18, 2022

An emblematic object of Antiquity, the amphora was an earthenware vase with two handles, widely used throughout the Mediterranean basin. A utilitarian vessel mainly used to transport wine and olive oil, it was part of the daily life of the Greeks and Romans as well as the societies that traded with them. Today, the master glassmaker Antoine Pierini, inspired by ancient Greece and the Mediterranean of Albert Camus, reinvents this ancient object by diverting it from its utilitarian functions to create unique works, some of which have been exclusively designed for Villa Kérylos, and which will be presented in an original visual and sound environment.
