At the end of the 19th century, painting underwent a veritable aesthetic revolution. Monet and other artists were fascinated by modern, fast-paced, photogenic life, paving the way for the invention of cinema. Cinema would in turn revolutionize the lives of painters and their art.
Flash visit to the temporary exhibition Landscape painting in Seine-et-Marne at the time of the Impressionists, curated by Laura Lèze.
Like the Seine-et-Marne landscapes featured in the exhibition, the loops of the Seine and the hills of Bellevue and Saint-Cloud also inspired many 19th-century landscape painters. Come and discover the rich collections of the Musée du Domaine Départemental de Sceaux, where "petits maîtres", still little-known by the general public, rub shoulders with the greatest.
By David Beaurain, Research and Studies Officer, Musée du Domaine Départemental de Seaux.
New art forms such as video games draw their inspiration from the notion of landscape. Whether as a simple backdrop or as a witness to a sensitive approach, the experience of landscape in video games questions the art of landscape and renews the ways in which it is practiced.
Conference led by Laura Lèze, curator of the exhibition "Landscape painting in Seine-et-Marne, at the time of the Impressionists".
This film retraces the adventure of a group of young painters who, in 1874, launched an aesthetic that made a complete break with the historical painting style of the official Salons.
The Impressionist scandal explains the public's and critics' mistrust of this "revolutionary" struggle, which challenged the way we see shapes and light.
Creator of the Château Thierry museum, painter, engraver and prolific historian, Frédéric Henriet is a major player in the "art system". Damien Blanchard, director of Editions Fiacre, will take us back over the career of this engaging man, a close friend of the greatest landscape painters of his time.
