Originally constructed to house citrus trees during the cold winter of 1852, the l’Orangerie truly blossomed in the 1920s when the French State and Claude Monet transformed the structure into a center for displaying fine art. For such a modest museum, the l’Orangerie offers a good permanent collection with Renoirs and Picassos, a dedicated exhibition space for temporary shows of the highest quality, and two spectacular oval rooms offering a peaceful and meditative setting for Monet’s water lilies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jardin des Tuileries was created by Catherine de’ Medici in 1564, then opened to the public in 1667. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Tuileries Garden became a public park following the French Revolution and today it is both elegant and relaxing — a perfect space for strolling (or jogging) in the center of Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n

The plan was changed, the l’Orangerie was selected as the new destination, and Monet assisted in the design of these two rooms, lit by natural light. <\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\u201cNymph\u00e9as\u201d became Claude Monet’s gift to the city of Paris: two oval rooms containing eight panels of water lilies measuring nearly 300 feet in length — 91 meters long — details of which are shown in these photos.<\/p>\n\n\n

Many painters from the School of Paris, including the most modern artists such as Matisse and Picasso, would visit the Ethnographic Museum of Trocad\u00e9ro (pictured below, beyond the Eiffel Tower) to gain inspiration from African art.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nPrevious Exhibitions <\/h2>\n\n\n\n The Russian Cha\u00efm Soutine (1893-1943) was one of the painters of the School of Paris. His canvases are characterized by a thick impasto and the gestural qualities of his portraiture. The curators at the l’Orangerie paired Soutine with an important artist from the next generation: the Abstract Expressionist Willem de Kooning (1904-97), whose unique figurative painting was much closer to abstraction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The American collector Albert Barnes boosted the international reputation of Soutine by purchasing dozens of his paintings during a single trip to Paris in 1922. De Kooning attended the Soutine retrospective at MoMA in 1950 and then visited the Barnes collection outside Philadelphia in 1952. This exhibition presented a visual dialog between these two artists known for their energetic brushwork and the importance they placed on their painterly surfaces. This show was displayed at the Barnes Foundation in 2021 and closed at the l’Orangerie museum in January 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n

Even though Hockney had been using his iPad method of drawing for more than 10 years, Covid-19 pandemic restrictions were coming into vigorous effect as the months of spring 2020 were unfolding. For Hockney drawing provided an antidote to the anxiety of those days: “We need art, and I do think it can relieve stress,” he said. As winter passed and spring gradually arrived, Hockney recorded the transformation and blossoming of the bucolic setting that surrounds his studio in northern France — home to historic places such as the Gothic abbey on Mont-Saint-Michel, Rouen’s Notre-Dame Cathedral and the 11th-century tapestry at Bayeux 10 kilometers from the Channel coast.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nSam Szafran preferred to work in the seclusion of his studio, far removed from the big-city and international art scenes. As a self-taught artist, Szafran introduced himself to pastels before exploring watercolors. Szafran’s methodical application of these mediums combined with his distorted perspective invite the viewer into his labyrinthine, challenging and at times claustrophobic world. For large-scale works of art, he turned primarily to his watercolors, though he often mixed dry with wet on paper using his two favorite materials — pastel and watercolor — which is no easy task to master. In the isolation of the workshop, Szafran depicted and deconstructed the world around him, including the plants in his art studio. Throughout his life, he returned to these ornamental foliage motifs in what he called his “nod to Matisse.” This show closed on January 16, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n
