Alberto Giacometti - Salvador Dalí: Garden of dreams.
Both members of the surrealist movement, the art of Giacometti and Dalí overlap in their depth and raw creativity. This exhibition pays tribute to their friendship and their almost obsessive interest in dreams, the blurred spaces between the conscious and the unconscious, the real and the unreal.
Between the Dalí's paintings and Giacometti's sculptures, the exhibition Garden of Dreams manages to create what sounds like an exchange, almost a conversation, between these two great artists.
Jusqu’au 8 avril 2023, à l’Institut Giacometti, 5 rue Victor Schœlcher, 14. arrondissement.
Admission fee: €8.50
Surrealism for women?
Let's stay in the surrealism movement with the exhibition Surrealism for women, which this time highlights female artists, too often neglected by museums and shunned by the art market, in favour of their male counterparts.
Le renouvellement esthétique déclenché par ce mouvement au 20. a vu naître de nombreux talents féminins, que cette exposition a eu pour volonté de présenter au grand public. 150 œuvres exposées et plus de 50 portraits d’artistes à découvrir au Musée Montmartre dès l’arrivée du printemps.
Du 31 mars au 10 septembre 2023, au Musée Montmartre, 12 rue Cortot, 18. arrondissement.
Admission fee: €15
Elliott Erwitt, in the lens.
Born in Paris in 1928, Elliot Erwitt is an American photographer of Russian origin, known throughout the world for his street scenes and his photographs of personalities. Charles de Gaulle, Che Guevara, Jackie Kennedy, and Marilyn Monroe have all passed before the artist's lens.
The exhibition retraces the whole of his work, between 1949 and 2000, with photographs in black and white and in colour. The connoisseur will discover or rediscover the photographer's sharp eye, but also and above all, the artist's view of the world. A touching, unique view, full of humanity.
At the same time photographer, traveler, and reporter, as gifted at immortalizing historical scenes as he was at capturing the most banal moments of everyday life, the talented artist plunges you into his universe, rich in humour and emotion.
Not to be missed!
Du 23 mars au 15 août 2023 au Musée Maillol, 59 – 61 rue de Grenelle, 7. arrondissement.
Admission fee: between €10 and €15
Eternal Mucha
If his name doesn't ring a bell, you've probably already seen his magnificent works, which sublimate both female beauty and nature!
Alphonse Mucha was a poster artist, illustrator, graphic designer, painter, and art teacher (yes, nothing less), but also one of the most emblematic personalities of the "Art Nouveau" movement. In fact, one could even say that he was its master!
With Eternal Mucha, the Mucha Foundation joins the Grand Palais Immersif in paying tribute to the work of this avant-garde artist, by staging an interactive and sensory exhibition, placed under the sign of refinement and elegance. A real success!
Du 22 mars au 5 novembre 2023, au Grand Palais Immersif, 110 rue de Lyon, 12. arrondissement.
Chagall, Paris - New York.
Last but not least, the new digital exhibition devoted to a painter who needs no introduction: Marc Chagall. Closely related to Paris and New York, two cities that have significantly marked the artist's life, this exhibition retraces the major stages of his work, as well as his inspirations and his life experience, all set to a background of classical, klezmer, and jazz music.
Modern art in all its originality is brought to light thanks to the projectors, but what will touch you here is above all the possibility of penetrating into the bold and colourful universe of a man imbued with mystery, who knew how to make his art his most beautiful means of expression.
Du 17 février 2023 au 1er janvier 2024, La Halle, Atelier des Lumières, 38 rue Saint-Maur, 11. arrondissement.
Admission fee: €16
