PARIS ART STUDIES LECTURES ONLINE

 

Two major themes dominate the museum season in Paris this fall 2023


MONTMARTRE

27 SEPTEMBER-18 OCTOBER 2023

 


The fiftieth anniversary of Pablo Picasso’s death commemorated by a major exhibition of his graphic work at the Centre Pompidou and his relationship with his first great collector, Gertrude Stein, at the Musée du Luxembourg.

Artistic Montmatre is also very much in the air with a centennial exhibition of the great illustrator Théophile Steinlen at the Musée de Montmartre, Modigliani and his art dealer, Paul Guillaume at the Orangerie,

but also Picasso and Stein whose early encounters took place at Picasso’s studio in the Bateau Lavoir in Montmartre.
