The Gravelines Museum
|
As early as 1976, before the very existence of the museum, the Gravelines Group convinced town to acquire Marcel Gromaire's etchings.
In 1978, the association supported the project of a museum and the embryonic plan for a municipal collection, offering the city the prints of an eminent group member, Eugène Leroy. Finally, in 1980, the group bought the Gromaire illustrative prints and woodcuts, namely 82 prints, to which it donated to the future " Drawings and Original Prints Municipal Collection ".
Thanks to the ongoing support of Albert Denvers, Mayor of Gravelines, the Museum of Drawing and Original Print was inaugurated in 1982; then in 1994, François Gromaire offered the Museum, another set of 47 drawings.

National Museum of Asian Arts – Guimet

Mount Fuji, a source of inspiration for many artists, dominates the landscape of the Japanese archipelago. This figure aroused the first transcriptions of atmospheric variations by Hokusai, almost half a century before the lightning effects of Monet and Sisley. Considered as a pure triangle, the mount Fuji is an iconic element in Japanese printmaking and later in the early days of photography.
Eternal on its sides, the subject of snow challenges artists to use the paper left in reserve to transcribe the suffocation of nature and its sounds, just as the impressionists inspired by the "snow country" would do decades later.

Exhibition Alfredo Müller
june 20 - 31 october 31, 2020
the Rohan Castle Museum in Saverne
|
Alfredo Müller, painter and engraver was born in Livorno in 1869 and died in Paris in 1939, was a european. His family history was European, his European journey has made him an eternal foreigner, his European convictions have clashed with identitarian reflexes of his contemporaries. His work reveals his loyalty to his masters, his insatiable curiosity for new trends and his taste for experimentation.
The exhibition bringing together seventy works, is a joint undertaking of the association "Les Amis d'Alfredo Müller" and the Rohan Castle Museum in Saverne. (67)

In the land of monsters. Léopold Chauveau (1870-1940)
|
|
|
March 13 - September 13, 2020
The Orsay Museum
|
In parallel with his profession as a medical doctor, forced on him by family obligation but which he did not enjoy and as a self- taught artist, Léopold Chauveau took refuge in a strange artistic universe, rather singular yet original.
A sculptor, illustrator and author of books for adults and children, he long remained forgotten in art history before a donation from his grandson to the Orsay Museum in 2017 (18 sculptures and 100 drawings) brought his name back into the limelight.
An atypical personality, Chauveau was introduced to sculpture around 1905 while he had been practicing medicine for several years. From 1907 onwards, monsters became a leitmotif in his creations, both in sculpture and drawing.
His hybrid creatures were often endearing, clumsy and as if they felt surprised by their own existence.
Seeming to come out of his unconscious, they constitute for Chauveau real companions, the people of an imaginary world in which he would find refuge. In spite of their singularity, the artist's sculpted monsters could form part of a genealogy of art history, such as medieval gargoyles or Japanese influences.

|
In his drawings, Chauveau adopts a synthetic, precise and incisive stroke to portrait his characters in a naïve style, with simplified yet explicit settings.
His compositions reflects the narrative and sometimes dramatic dimension of his series (...)
