After distant arts at the Musée du Quai Branly, new times... This is what the Musée de l'Orangerie is proposing with a second exhibition focusing on Félix Fénéon from October 16, 2019 to January 27, 2020. A second chapter focusing on works from Seurat to Matisse, to be precise, part of a major retrospective devoted to the journalist and art collector who gave the primitive arts a prominent place on the art scene of the 19th and 20th centuries.
The exhibition is divided into four sections and three focuses showing"Fénéon's main commitments to the arts and literature". The exhibition focuses on Fénéon's anarchist side, and his promotion of like-minded artists such as Seurat, Signac, Luce, Van Rysselberghe and writers Gustave Kahn and Victor Barrucand.
A figure"fascinating for the strength of his convictions" who helped build"a new aesthetic order dominated by the sensuality of color and the rigor of form". The exhibition features a selection of works by Seurat, Signac, Cross and Luce, commented on or collected by Félix Fénéon. An opportunity to discover a new facet of this major player in the art world of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Shall we go, friends?
