Dedicated to the Russian-born sculptor Ossip Zadkine, the Musée Zadkine is housed in the artist's former studio in Paris's 6th arrondissement. To mark the Journées du Patrimoine 2024 in Paris, this art venue is opening its doors to the curious on Sunday September 22, with a program to suit every taste.
From wood and stone sculptures to drawings and sketches, the Musée Zadkine presents a variety of works that reveal the evolution of Zadkine's artistic style, from early works marked by Cubism to the more organic, abstract sculptures of his later period.
Outside, the museum's magnificent, verdant garden and its peaceful atmosphere are enhanced by monumental sculptures to be admired in the open air, under the great blue skies of Paris. The Journées du Patrimoine 2024 are an opportunity to discover the work of a talented artist and to plunge into the history of art, through the prism of his creative genius.
So, shall we discover the program scheduled for September 16 at the Musée Zadkine? Read all about it here!
