Emil Nolde

Pioneer of German Expressionism

German expressionism remains a new subject in France. Emil Nolde (1867-1956), one of the major representatives of this movement, has yet to receive any retrospective to date. For the first time in our country, an ambitious exhibition pays tribute to this great figure of modern art by bringing together ninety paintings (including the exceptional presence of the polyptych The Life of Christ from the Nolde Foundation in Seebüll, Germany) and seventy watercolors, prints, and drawings.

An Unprecedented Retrospective

This collection is presented in a chronological journey divided into twelve thematic sections (The Enchanted Mountain, A Country, Years of Struggle, Bible and Legend Paintings, The Graphic Work, Berlin Nights, Welt, Heimat, “Phantasien” and “Unpainted Images”, The Sea). For the general public, it will be a discovery; for connoisseurs, a unique opportunity to see paintings from around the world illustrating the entirety of the work. Monographic presentation of the complete painted and engraved work of the German painter Emil Nolde at the Grand Palais in Paris (96 paintings, 50 drawings and prints).

The Force of Art II

Dialogue between Architecture and Contemporary Art

For the second edition of The Force of Art, three renowned exhibition curators, Didier Ottinger, Jean-Louis Froment, and Jean-Yves Jouannet, called upon architect Philippe Rahm to design a project related to the immense space of the Nave of the Grand Palais.

White Geology

An Architectural Art at the Grand Palais

The result is a platform installed at the center of the large Nave of the Grand Palais in Paris. Like a landscape whose geology has been shaped by 40 works, this white rectangle measuring 160m x 25m hosts closed and intimate artistic universes, or widely open ones, forming caves, towers, courtyards, and squares that create a “White Geology.”

The Forgotten Years of Renoir

An Artistic Renaissance

The last years of Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) represent a period often overlooked as the painter is associated with the golden age of Impressionism. However, towards the end of the 19th century, he embarked on new and fruitful research. Renoir then establishes himself as the master of a decorative and classical art, nourished by tradition, but also as an example for new generations of artists.

Renoir and His Heirs

A Dialogue Through the Ages

The exhibition will bring together about a hundred paintings, drawings, and sculptures by Renoir, from public and private collections around the world. These nudes, portraits, and model studies were once owned by Matisse or Picasso. Divided into about fifteen sections, they will occasionally be confronted with works by Picasso, Matisse, Maillol, or Bonnard, attesting to Renoir’s legacy. Thus, the exhibition invites viewers to reconsider the later works of Renoir by exploring the perspective that these artists from the first half of the 20th century had on a 19th-century master who was their contemporary.

Les Enfants Modèles

Scenes of Life, Intimate Scenes

A journey through history, the exhibition “The Model Children” offers a unique perspective on the work of artists. Model children on canvas, at least in appearance, were they really so exemplary? Inspirations for the artist who had them pose, often turbulent as one can be at the age they are depicted, they yielded to the demands and whims of their parents. Occupied with drawing using toys and objects that some believed to be the subject of the painting, they are caught candidly, the gaze of visitors intruding into these scenes of life that have become intimate scenes.

Les Enfants Modèles

A plurality of experiences

Followed by the eyes of these impassive or laughing faces, visitors wander through the exhibition, pausing at a painting by Picasso, at a canvas by Rousseau, at a portrait of Pierre Arditi, and finally, at a sculpture representing Jean-Paul Belmondo. For the first time, the models that are usually ignored and whose history is questioned come to life and form, providing their testimony about these sometimes endless and terrible posing sessions. Thus, there were many injunctions from Georges Arditi ordering his children not to move. No less difficult, the modeling experience of Jean-Marie Rouart was an opportunity for him to escape. “Immobile, with my mind elsewhere racing far from the painter who was laboring over me, it was the ideal opportunity to indulge in what has always been my fateful inclination and favorite occupation: dreaming my life.” Numerous varied testimonies reflect the plurality of experiences of these children.

Les Enfants Modèles

Trouble and discoveries

A clever idea not only to juxtapose these testimonies with the paintings but also to present the objects that kept the models calm: dolls, toy soldiers, hoops, all these toys contribute to the feeling of entering a family space, often obscured by art history and pushed aside by the artist himself. Following the works of well-known painters, more informal works that are delightful to discover appear: Albert Braïtou-Sala or Louis Bouquet thus take their place alongside Picassos, Renoirs, and Denis. The visitor finds themselves smiling upon discovering a painting of Raymond Lévi-Strauss, father of Claude Lévi-Strauss, depicted here straddling a wooden horse, and feels disturbed in front of the portrait of Kizette de Lempicka, made by her mother Tamara, which served as the cover for Nabokov’s Lolita. Real gazes, witnesses to a life and a history, too often set aside in favor of their parents’ stories.

By giving a voice to model children and opening the door to the intimate space of posing sessions, the Musée de l’Orangerie presents a lovely exhibition, full of gaze and narrative, that steps outside conventions and takes visitors off the beaten path.
