On a sunny October morning, the woods adopt warm autumn colours. Swans exchange complaints on the shore of Lac Supérieur, the water droplets in their plumage creating pearls of indefinable shades. All of this brought to light in the artistry of Hodler, Monet, Munch.
Presented until January 21st at the Marmottan-Monet museum, a stone's throw from the Bois de Boulogne, these three legendary artists are brought together not only to understand the history of their art but also to compare, contrast and juxtapose their work, stimulating the most colourful of conversations: How do you accomplish what cannot be done?
Lost in green, far from the crowded concrete bastions of the Louvre or the Musée d'Orsay, the intimate Marmottan-Monet museum presents you with a well-defined temporary exhibit incorporating unifying themes (water, wind, snow...) dear to the artists’ hearts and imaginations, bypassing the usual sterile and rigid norms of how art is classified.
Our guides embraced this immediately. Philippe Dagen, rather than the usual curator, critic and art historian, dispensed with the customary grandiloquent lecture and simply allowed the conference guides to explore and discover the art; an epic, almost disconcerting educational moment that had been overlooked for far too long. The selection of artworks and their thoughtfully curated presentation kept conversations and discussions flowing long after departing the exhibition.
The works of art's dialogue was a success, engendering unending conversation among visitors.
This winter allow yourself to be inspired. Move back and forth between the ideas and the works of three renowned masters; join them in the conversation.
