“Trees”
In this exhibit, the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain “echoes the most recent scientific research that sheds new light on trees”.
The Golden Age of English painting
This exhibit, composed of masterpieces from the Tate Britain, “highlights a key period in the history of painting in England, from the 1760’s to ca. 1820”. It seeks to create a “panorama demonstrating all of its originality and diversity”.
“From the Douanier Rousseau to Séraphine, The Great Naïve Masters”
The Musée Maillol pays tribute to the great naïve masters in this exhibit. “Referred to as ‘modern primitives’ by one of their greatest proponents, the art collector and critic Wilhelm Uhde (1874-1947), these artists reinvented painting in their own way, separate from the avant-gardes and academics”.
Francis Bacon: Books and Painting
The later works of Francis Bacon, from 1971 to 1992, evoke the painter’s new literary influences. “Powerful voices read aloud the French and English texts of Eschyle, Nietzsche, Bataille, Leiris, Conrad and Eliot. These authors, who all played a role in inspiring Bacon’s works and designs, share a poetic universe, and form a sort of […]
“The figurative Mondrian”
The figurative era of Piet Mondrian is revealed in this exhibit, composed of some sixty drawings and paintings from the collection of Salomon B. Slijper. These include landscapes, flowers, and portraits of the artist, best perceived as a colourist and luminist, and not just an abstract painter.

Al-‘Ula, wonder of Arabia”
This exhibit “unveils the fruit of over twenty years of research, revealed to the public for the first time.

“Toulouse-Lautrec, Resolutely Modern”
The Grand Palais seeks to show that Toulouse-Lautrec was more than just a witness of the Montmartre years through this exhibition, running from 9 October 2019 to 27 January 2020. More than just the frivolous moments of his Belle-Époque, Toulouse-Lautrec wished to paint time, capture duration, find the space-time of an image, and freeze contemporary, […]
“The Sound of Charlie Chaplin”
In parallel with the tribute to Chaplin at the Philharmonie de Paris, the Musée de la Musique is organising an exhibit from 11 October 2019 to 26 January 2020. Constructed around a circuit of shadow and light, in keeping with Chaplin’s films, the event follows the film genius’ journey through a series of original photos […]

Giselle
“A romantic ballet par excellence, “Giselle” marks the height of a new aesthetic. Fluffy tutus, white gauze, tulle and tarlatan dominate the scene. In the fantastical transfiguration of a tragedy, the Willis participate in the illusion of immateriality.”
