MUSÉE D'ART MODERNE DE PARIS - Nicolas de Staël
From September 15, 2023 to january 15, 2024
Courtesy Christie's
This major retrospective at the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris devoted to Nicolas de Staël (1914-1955) is the first in France for twenty years.
Alongside the artist's best-known paintings, this exhibition offers a fresh look at his work, presenting a rich selection of works rarely, if ever, shown to the public. It shows a painter at work, whether facing the landscape or in the silence of his studio. Indifferent to the fashions and quarrels of his time, the artist remains fascinated by the sights of the world, whether confronted by the sea, a soccer match or a piece of fruit on a table.
From the dark, textured canvases of the 1940s to the luminous paintings he produced before his suicide in 1955, the retrospective presents his work as an urgent pursuit of an ever denser, more concise art. By emphasizing the experimental dimension of de Staël's work, the exhibition allows us to rediscover this pictorial quest of rare intensity.
MUSÉE D'ART MODERNE DE PARIS - Dana Schutz. The visible world
MUSÉE D'ART MODERNE DE PARIS - Dana Schutz. The visible world
This first solo exhibition by Dana Schutz in France looks back over twenty years of work by the American artist. Dana Schutz, who was born in 1976 near Detroit and now lives in New York, is a major figure on the international art scene.
A virtuoso of color, she examines both the disturbing sensations of the intimate, and the large-scale, often violent crowd scenes that have become part of our collective memory.
She shows the artist at work, the body under construction, the obsolescence of a sick world, half-hearted victories over indeterminate causes and, in recent years, increasingly ghostly scenes, mental images that are a dark reflection of our contemporary world.
A must-see exhibition at the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris.

Georges Hugo (1868-1925), the poet's grandson, immortalized as a child in L'Art d'être grand-père, was a paradoxical personality throughout his life. Cradled by an overly happy childhood but marked by bereavement, heir to Victor Hugo's glory but shy, rich but prodigal, a socialite but serving as a sailor, a witness to the Belle Époque but a simple poilu drawing life in the trenches amidst the fighting, he was above all an artist at heart, marveling at having seen his grandfather draw. Whether as a delicate landscape painter or an incisive chronicler of worldly life and entertainment, he was a memorialist of the passage of time.
This monographic exhibition at the Maison de Victor Hugopays tribute to him and invites visitors to discover his work through paintings, watercolors and drawings.

November 15, 2023 to March 31, 2024

From the artist's beginnings in Montparnasse to the revival of his sculpture after 1945, the exhibition brings Chana Orloff's work into dialogue with that of Ossip Zadkine, around themes that both artists explored at different periods in their lives, such as the portrait and the human figure, the female body and bestiary.
