Exposition: Parabola of Pre-Raphaelitism Place: Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum, Tokyo Period: 14 March 2019 - 9 June 2019 The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (later known as the Pre-Raphaelites) was a group of English painters, poets, and art critics, founded in 1848 by William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The three founders were joined by William Michael Rossetti, James Collinson, Frederic George Stephens and Thomas Woolner to form the seven-member "brotherhood". Their principles were shared by other artists, including Ford Madox Brown, Arthur Hughes and Marie Spartali Stillman. A later, medievalising strain inspired by Rossetti included Edward Burne-Jones and extended into the twentieth century with artists such as John William Waterhouse. Gabriel Charles Dante Rossetti (12 May 1828 – 9 April 1882), generally known as Dante Gabriel Rossetti (/rəˈzɛti/), was a British poet, illustrator, painter and translator. He founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in 1848 with William Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais. Rossetti was later to be the main inspiration for a second generation of artists and writers influenced by the movement, most notably William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones. His work also influenced the European Symbolists and was a major precursor of the Aesthetic movement. Rossetti's art was characterised by its sensuality and its medieval revivalism. His early poetry was influenced by John Keats. His later poetry was characterised by the complex interlinking of thought and feeling, especially in his sonnet sequence, The House of Life. Poetry and image are closely entwined in Rossetti's work. He frequently wrote sonnets to accompany his pictures, spanning from The Girlhood of Mary Virgin (1849) and Astarte Syriaca (1877), while also creating art to illustrate poems such as Goblin Market by the celebrated poet Christina Rossetti, his sister. The exhibition showcases 150 Pre-Raphaelite paintings, tapestry pieces, furniture and more, selected from private and museum collections in the U.K. and U.S. Title: l’exposition de la collection Courtauld à la Fondation Vuitton Time: 20 February - 17 June 2019 Place: 8, avenue du Mahatma Gandhi, 75016 Paris Organizer: Louis Vuitton Foundation L'exposition présente la collection de l'industriel et mécène anglais Samuel Courtauld, l'une des plus significatives collections de peintres impressionnistes, rassemblés pour la première fois à Paris depuis 60 ans. L’exposition témoigne de l’extrême exigence et de l’engagement artistique de Samuel Courtauld. Elle réunit quelque 110 œuvres – dont une soixantaine de peintures, mais aussi des œuvres graphiques, ayant toutes appartenu à Samuel Courtauld et majoritairement conservées à la Courtauld Gallery ou dans différentes collections publiques et privées internationales. Elle présente également un ensemble de dix aquarelles de J.M.W. Turner qui ont appartenu au frère de Samuel Courtauld, Sir Stephen Courtauld. Occasion unique de découvrir quelques-unes des plus grandes peintures françaises de la fin du XIXème siècle et du tout début du XXème siècle (Manet, Seurat, Cézanne, Van Gogh, Gauguin), l’exposition réunit des chefs-d’œuvre tels que : Bar aux Folies-Bergère de Manet (1882) Nevermore de Gauguin (1897) La Loge de Renoir (1874) La femme se poudrant de Seurat (1889) L’autoportrait à l’oreille bandée de Van Gogh (1889) The exhibition presents the collection of the British entrepreneur and art patron Samuel Courtauld, which hasn't been showed in Paris for the past 60 years. “The Courtauld Collection: A Vision for Impressionism” brings together some 110 works, including 60 paintings and graphic pieces, which are mainly conserved in the Courtauld Gallery or in different international public and private collections. It features some of the greatest paintings from the end of the 19th century and from the very beginning of the 20th century. These works include "Un Bar aux Folies Bergère" (1882) by Manet, "La Jeune Femme se poudrant" by Seurat (1889-90), "Les Joueurs" de cartes by Cézanne (1892-96), "Autoportrait à l’oreille bandée" by Van Gogh (1889), "Nevermore" by Gauguin (1897), as well as a set of ten watercolours by J.M.W. Turner which belonged to Samuel Courtauld’s brother, Sir Stephen Courtauld. The exhibition of the Courtauld Collection embodies the Fondation’s aim to showcase the role of emblematic collectors from the history of art, following on from previous exhibitions such as “Keys to a passion” (2014-2015), "Being Modern : Moma in Paris" (2017-2018), "Icons of Modern Art. The Shchukin Collection" (2016-2017) which brought together great works of Modernism, collected by prestigious institutions and visionary collectors.
