Heritage Days 2024 at Espace Jean Renoir in Bourron-Marlotte
The Amis de Bourron-Marlotte and Amis du Musée de Bourron-Marlotte associations, in partnership with the commune of Bourron-Marlotte and with the support of the Seine-et-Marne département, are organizing a tribute exhibition to Charles Moreau-Vauthier:
Aux arts citoyens! Charles Moreau-Vauthier painter, writer and committed citizen (1857-1924)
After a short career as a Parisian painter (1880-1887), he turned to novels and art criticism, and initiated a number of original and lasting initiatives in Seine-et-Marne to serve his fellow citizens, such as the creation of the Bourron-Marlotte small museum and the Société des Amis de la forêt de Fontainebleau.
From an early age, he was immersed in an artistic atmosphere, with his father a renowned sculptor who was succeeded by another son. He took up writing in the late 1880s, before settling in Bourron in 1906, where he was heavily involved in local life and became a regular contributor to the weekly L'Abeille de Fontainebleau.
He ended his life as principal and teacher at the Comairas school in Fontainebleau, where he was appointed in 1923.
The exhibition will be divided into three sections: his thwarted vocation as a painter, his literary reconversion and his civic and community involvement. A number of loans from museums and cultural institutions, as well as from private individuals, will highlight the richness of the different facets of this extraordinary artist and character.
Exhibition open from September 21 to October 13, 2024 Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, 2pm to 6pm - Saturday and Sunday, 10am to 12pm and 2pm to 6pm. Free admission.

Heritage Days 2024 at the Musée de la Mairie in Bourron-Marlotte
Come and discover the works housed in this town hall, which preserves over 400 works by 19th-century small masters.
The Bourron-Marlotte town hall-museum was decorated by Charles Moreau-Vauthier, a Parisian artist who lived in the town between 1906 and 1922. A pupil of Gérôme, he gave up painting at the Salons fairly quickly, but remained an outstanding entertainer. Mobilizing his friends in Paris and the Fontainebleau region, he succeeded in collecting some 70 works to open the "Petit Musée" at the town hall in 1907. Donations have continued to add to this small museum, which today boasts over 400 diverse works, some of which are classified.
