Presentation
For this spring edition of our round-up of exhibitions in the Île-de-France region, art historian Christine Defauw presents an overview of the exhibitions, along with the key insights needed to fully appreciate them.
Each session offers an opportunity to broaden one’s perspective, whether you’re a curious beginner or a knowledgeable enthusiast. For that is precisely the aim of these talks: to make art accessible to everyone, thanks to the infectious enthusiasm of an expert who loves to share her knowledge.
A selection of this spring’s must-see exhibitions, especially for you:
Women in the Mirror: Appearance and Imagination – Musée Cognacq-Jay:
A journey into the world of femininity in the 18th century, where art and costume reveal the elegance and imaginations that shape the image of women.
K-Beauty. Korean Beauty, the Story of a Phenomenon – Guimet Museum:
The exhibition traces the history and codes of Korean beauty, from ancient traditions to the trends that influence global culture today.
Clair-Obscur – Bourse de Commerce:
Through a selection of contemporary works, the exhibition plays with the contrasts of light and shadow to offer an immersive and evocative artistic experience.
Faces of Artists – Petit Palais:
An exploration of the artist’s portrait and self-portrait in the 19th century, revealing the relationships, influences and mutual perspectives between creators.
