French Vision

The Centre Pompidou presents “Edvard Munch, l’oeil moderne” [Edvard Munch, the modern eye], a collection never-seen-before in France of around eighty paintings, thirty artworks done on paper, fifty photographs and a film. Showing the work of the famous Norwegian painter (1853-1944) in a different light, this exhibition shows how much the artist’s curiosity for all of the forms of representation of his era fuelled his inspiration and his work. His experience of photography, cinema, his readings of the illustrated press and even his work for the theatre profoundly influenced his work, the brilliant modernity of which the exhibition reveals.

The Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris (MAMVP) is devoting a solo exhibition to Marc Desgrandchamps, a leading painter on the contemporary scene in France. Comprising forty large-format paintings and a wide choice of works on paper – gouaches, drawings, collages, washes and lithographs – the exhibition retraces the artist’s career from 1987 to the most recent works. This retrospective offers visitors the opportunity to view pictures being shown for the first time and to become acquainted with an oeuvre already represented in numerous public and private collections.
