Gertrude Stein et Pablo Picasso

September 13, 2023–January 28, 2024
Musée du Luxembourg, Paris

This exhibition explores the friendship between Pablo Picasso and Gertrude Stein, two icons of the twentieth century. Both moved to Paris in the early 1900s, and their status as foreigners affected their roles in the city’s bohemian community as well as their artistic freedom. Examining their closeness and inventiveness, the exhibition considers a century of art, poetry, music, and theater through key figures such as Marcel Duchamp, Jasper Johns, Henri Matisse, Ed Ruscha, Andy Warhol, and others.

Tom Wesselmann
After Matisse

February 24–May 29, 2023
Musée Matisse, Nice, France
www.musee-matisse-nice.org

This exhibition explores the many ways in which Tom Wesselmann expressed his admiration for Henri Matisse over the course of his career, from his first collages in 1959 to his last paintings, the Sunset Nudes series of the 2000s. Through a selection of forty-one works, the show investigates Wesselmann’s creative processes in the studio and brings together four significant series that testify to Matisse’s influence on the Pop artist: collages, Great American Nudes, Steel Drawings, and Sunset Nudes.
