Exhibition Botticelli
En savoir +ParticipateLocation: Musée Jacquemart-André
Dates: September 10, 2021 to January 24, 2022
Prices: From €10
In the fall of 2021, the Jacquemart-André Museum will celebrate the creative genius of Sandro Botticelli (1445 – 1510) and the activity of his workshop, by exposing some forty works of this refined painter accompanied by some paintings of his Florentine contemporaries on which Botticelli had a special influence. The career of Botticelli, who became one of the greatest artists of Florence, bears witness to the influence and profound changes that transformed the city under the Medici.
Botticelli is undoubtedly one of the most famous painters of the Italian Renaissance despite the part of mystery that still surrounds his life and the activity of his studio. Tirelessly, he alternated unique creation and serial production completed by his many assistants.
The exhibition will show the importance of this workshop practice, a laboratory full of ideas and training, typical of the Italian Renaissance. She will present Botticelli as a creator, but also as an entrepreneur and trainer.
Following a chronological and thematic order, the itinerary will illustrate Botticelli’s personal stylistic development, the links between his work and the culture of his time, as well as the influence he himself exerted on the Florentine artists of the Quattrocento.
The exhibition will benefit from loans from prestigious institutions such as the Louvre Museum, the National Gallery of London, the Rijksmuseum of Amsterdam, the Vatican Museums and Libraries, the Uffizi, the Galleria Sabauda of Turin, the Galleria dell’Accademia and the National Bargello Museum in Florence, the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin, the Alte Pinakothek in Munich and the Städel Museum in Frankfurt. -
Damien Hirst Exposition, Cherry Blossoms
En savoir +ParticipateDate : From 6 July 2021 to 2 January 2022
Lieu : Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, 261 Boulevard Raspail, 75014 ParisPrice : Tarif plein 11€
La Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain est heureuse de dévoiler Cerisiers en Fleurs, l’exceptionnelle nouvelle série de tableaux de Damien Hirst.
Une célébration de la couleur au milieu du chaos
Cerisiers en Fleurs est la première exposition institutionnelle de Damien Hirst en France. La série des Cerisiers en Fleurs [Cherry Blossoms] réinterprète avec une ironie joyeuse le sujet traditionnel et populaire de la représentation florale. Sur la toile, Damien Hirst mêle touches épaisses et projections de peinture faisant référence tant à l’impressionnisme et au pointillisme qu’à l’action painting. Les toiles monumentales, entièrement recouvertes par les couleurs vives et saturées, enveloppent le spectateur dans un vaste paysage végétal oscillant entre figuration et abstraction. Les Cerisiers en Fleurs sont à la fois un détournement et un hommage aux grands mouvements artistiques de la fin du XIXème et du XXème siècle. Ils s’inscrivent dans les réflexions picturales que Damien Hirst mène depuis toujours. Dans son atelier londonien, l’artiste dit « se plonger dans les toiles et les bombarder de peinture de bout en bout », travaillant plusieurs tableaux en même temps et revenant sans cesse sur certains qu’il garde auprès de lui de longs mois après leur achèvement. Après y avoir consacré trois années entières, c’est en novembre 2020 que Damien Hirst achève la série des Cerisiers en Fleurs : « La pandémie m’a permis de vivre avec mes peintures et de prendre le temps de les contempler, jusqu’à ce que je sois certain qu’elles étaient toutes terminées ». La série complète comprend 107 toiles (toutes reproduites dans le catalogue de l’exposition) réparties en panneaux simples, diptyques, triptyques, quadriptyques et même un hexaptyque, toutes de très grand format. L’exposition, qui répond à une invitation d’Hervé Chandès à Damien Hirst lors d’une rencontre à Londres en 2019, présente 30 tableaux qu’ils ont choisis ensemble. Envahissant l’espace de Jean Nouvel, les toiles vibrantes immergent le spectateur dans la peinture.
