EXHIBITION "AMITIÉS, BONNARD-MATISSE"
IN THE FONDATION MAEGHT
29 JUNE TO 6 OCTOBER 2024
Guest curator: Marie-Thérèse Pulvénis de Séligny
To mark its 60th anniversary, the Maeght Foundation presents the exhibition ‘Amitiés, Bonnard-Matisse’. From 29 June to 6 October, the exhibition focuses on the friendly and respectful relationship between Pierre Bonnard and Henri Matisse, and traces their links with the Maeght family, for whom the two artist-friends embodied two geniuses of the 20th century, sharing with them the great - and more trivial - moments of life.
The exhibition explores the specific characters of the two masters, but also, by mirror effect, the particularities of each in their approach to the same subjects: self-portraits, the street, the light of the Midi, the painter and his model...
In 60 years and over 150 exhibitions of works by the great artists of the 20th and 21st centuries, the Maeght Foundation has had a major impact on the history and dissemination of art.
Under the patronage of Mr Emmanuel Macron, President of the French Republic.
