MONET

               

FEBRUARY 2025 NEWSLETTER
MONET Claude Monet, an emblematic figure of Impressionism, is a French painter born in 1840 and known for his ability to capture light and emotions in his works. In 1872, he painted Impression, Sunrise, a painting that would become legendary.	Depicting the port of Le Havre at sunrise, with the sun bathing the scene in a soft orange light, this painting is both simple and powerful. What is striking is the misty atmosphere and the way in which the quickly applied brushstrokes suggest more than they describe. This innovative style gave its name to the Impressionist movement, thanks to an ironic critique of the time. Yet this work marks a revolution in art, emphasizing fleeting impressions and the beauty of the present moment.
EXHIBITION Trompe-l’oeil, from 1520 to the present day From October 17, 2024 to March 2, 2025 at the Marmottan Monet Museum (Paris) The Tear of Henri Cadiou This exhibition explores the history of the representation of reality in the arts and highlights a little-known facet of the museum's collections, while paying tribute to Jules and Paul Marmottan's interest in this pictorial genre.

MONET

               

FÉVRIER 2025 LETTRE MENSUELLE
MONET Claude Monet, figure emblématique de l'impressionnisme, est un peintre français né en 1840 et connu pour sa capacité à capturer la lumière et les émotions dans ses œuvres. En 1872, il peint Impression, soleil levant, un tableau qui deviendra mythique.	Représentant le port du Havre au lever du jour, avec le soleil baignant la scène dans une douce lumière orangée, ce tableau est à la fois simple et puissant.  Ce qui frappe, c'est l'atmosphère brumeuse et la manière dont les touches de peinture, posées rapidement, suggèrent plus qu'elles ne décrivent. Ce style novateur a donné son nom au mouvement impressionniste, grâce à une critique ironique de l'époque. Pourtant, cette oeuvre marque une révolution dans l'art, mettant l'accent sur les impressions fugitives et la beauté de l'instant présent.
EXPOSITION Le trompe-l'oeil, de 1520 à nos jours Du 17 Octobre 2024 au 02 Mars 2025 au Musée Marmottan Monet (Paris) La déchirure d'Henri Cadiou Cette exposition explore l'histoire de la représentation de la réalité dans les arts et met en lumière une facette méconnue des collections du musée, tout en rendant hommage à l'intérêt de Jules et Paul Marmottan pour ce genre pictural.
