Manet, Inventor of Modernity
The Musee d'Orsay will open a major
retrospective on Edouard Manet in April, with a
focus on the historical context of the artist's work
and his intense public and political life. While
Orsay's permanent collection already features an
important selection of Manet's best works, this
exhibit promises to provide even stronger insight
into Manet's myriad influences and artistic
experiments, and to highlight his intense dialogue
with fellow artists, writers and poets.
Through July 3rd, 2011
Nature and Ideal: Landscape and Rome,
1600-1650
In collaboration with Le Louvre and the Prado
Museum in Madrid, the Galeries Nationales du
Grand Palais is exploring the history of landscape
painting, whose origins stretch back to early
17th-century Rome. Over 80 paintings and some
30 drawings from landscape masters including
Annibal Carrache, Adam Elsheimer, Pieter Paul
Rubens and Nicolas Poussin show the powerful
emergence of landscape as a subject in its own
right, rather than a mere background.
