Location : Pinacothèque de Paris | Metro Madeleine
Address : 28, place de la Madeleine - Paris 8th district
Alberto Giacometti is without doubt one of the major sculptors of the 20th century. Very early on, his work shows a definitely strong interest for the primitive figure ; his discovery of Etruscan art from the Italian region of Tuscany is surely a decidedly moving factor, and an influence to his creations thereafter. The exhibit presents 150 exceptional Etruscan objects and about thirty major sculptures by this Swiss artist.

Situated two steps away from the Champs-Elysées in a magnificent townhouse is the Jacquemart-André Museum; it will be showing for several months, an exhibition dedicated to one of the major figures of Quattrocento : Fra Angelico. There are 25 major works of this Italian artist “of rare and perfect talent” as Vasari complemented, illustrating his composition of perspective and representation of the human figure.

Pompei - an art de vivre
Dates : 21st September - 12th February 2012
Location : Maillol Museum | Metro Rue du Bac
Address : 61, rue de Grenelle - Paris 7th district
The Maillol Museum invites us to go back in time up ‘till the beginning of our era, with an exhibit dedicated to the city of Pompeii, buried under the ashes of Vesuvius in the Year 79. In spite of the catastrophe, it was possible to unearth numerous, partially conserved objects, with thanks to years of meticulous excavation of a colossal magnanimity. I highly recommend this exposition !
Cézanne et Paris
Dates : 12th October - 26th February 2012
Location : Luxembourg Museum | Metro Saint-Sulpice
Address : 19, rue Vaugirard - Paris 6th district
Although Paul Cézanne’s works are often summed up as “landscapes of provincial France”, the artist also set down his easel in the Parisian region, painting countryside, still life, portraits and nudes. In fact, he settled down in Giverny at Monet’s house, and kept company with many impressionist artists who were a source of inspiration throughout his life. It must be remembered that at the time, artistic recognition could only be acquired in Paris…
