“Paul Guillaume, one of the first to be touched by the modern revelation”
André Breton, 1923
« What mattered to Ryman,, and what matters when we show him today, is to show that it's not just about creating a painting in response to an idea, a concept, or a protocol, finishing only, when it meets protocol. His approach is completely different, totally opposite. It'a about painting, experimenting, testing. Ploughing further down a furrow, and, as he said himself, to show the how of painting and not the why.Ryman didn't really consider himself as a craftsman, but as a painter going further with what had already been done, putting the « doing » and above all, the gaze, back at the heart of the practice. It's the painter view on what painting is, and his tools. But mostly, it's the visitor's gaze, those who contemplate it, who are actively looking. It' about the effect that it brings to the viewer. After all, leading to a sensitive painting. »

He decided to make paintings, but I decided to collect the pollen and be part of this universe... » Wolfgang Laib

« I'm not trying to measure or compare Monet's work with my own. I only want to point out a common path and conditions of development. »
Hermann Nitsch (1938-2022)
Hermann Nitsch was fascinated by Monet’s Water Lilies, to which he paid tribute at the Musée de l’Orangerie whenever he visited Paris, and shortly before his death he was invited to dialogue with this masterpiece of impressionism. Although Nitsch did not have the time to bring his project for the Musée de l’Orangerie to fruition, the museum wanted to pay tribute to him
Almost a century after the two men met in 1914, this exhibition aims to revisit one of the iconic moments in Amedeo Modigliani’s life, the one in which Paul Guillaume became his dealer. It will focus on exploring the way in which links between the two characters may throw light on the artist’s career.
The exhibition is curated by Cécile Girardeau.
