Human and artistic crossroads.

Although ignored for a long time, exchanges within Africa, and outside of its borders, began thousands of years ago, well before independence, colonisation and the arrival of the first Portuguese ships at the end of the 15th century. This is demonstrated in the sculptures, gold and ivory pieces, paintings and other artworks presented in the African Routes exhibition.
This exhibition evokes the routes by river, land and sea that contributed to the movement and contact of men, materials and artworks.
Ranging from the chariots engraved in caves in Oued Djerat in the Sahara to the Chinese porcelain of Madagascar, from the Candomblé cults and rituals of South America to the contemporary mixed art of the Nigerian artist Yinka Shonibare, it presents a portrait of a continent at the centre of world history.

A deep artistic relationship.

The Museum of Modern Art of the City of Paris is offering an exhibition that explores the relationship between three major artists of the 20th century: Derain, Balthus and Giacometti.
With nearly 200 works, it recounts the high points of this artistic friendship. Their encounter in 1933 and the deepening of their relationship from 1935 brought about many crossovers between their life and their works. As well as a mutual sense of admiration and real affection, it was a profound aesthetic unity that brought them together.
The exhibition is organised according to a chronological and thematic itinerary to allow visitors to completely immerse themselves in the things that formed the basis of the relationship between these three major artists.

Yves Saint Laurent, patron saint of Paris.

The Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint Laurent Foundation announced, during Paris Fashion Week 2016, the creation of two new museums dedicated to the work of the great couturier (1936-2008): one in Paris and the other in Marrakech.
These two venues will allow the foundation to exhibit part of its collection, while continuing to renew the accessories, clothes, sketches and photographs on display.

The Paris museum will occupy the historic fashion house, located in Avenue Marceau, where Yves Saint Laurent worked for around 30 years, from 1974 to 2002. The foundation has been based there since 2004.
Along the way, you’ll find the former haute couture salons, as well as the couturier’s creative studio, recreating the atmosphere of his workshop.

From painter to collector.

Claude Monet is, of course, best known as Impressionist painter. And indeed he was an artist of exceptional talent. What is less well known, however, is that he was also an avid collector. The artist acquired paintings, drawings and sculptures by other major artists including Delacroix, Corot, Manet, Renoir, Cezanne, Pissarro, Rodin and Signac.
In this exhibition, the Marmottan Museum offers a rare chance to see this fine collection united once again, giving us the opportunity to discover what inspired and delighted Monet among the works of his peers and predecessors.

Gauguin in majesty at the Grand Palais.

Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) was one of the major French painters of the 19th century and one of the most important precursors to modern art. The exhibition at the Grand Palais retraces his surprising career, in which he explored the most diverse art forms: painting, drawing, etching, sculpture, ceramics and so on. The masterpieces brought together in this exhibition highlight the artist's relationship with his materials as well as his creative process. It explores Gauguin's use of themes and recurrent motifs.
